I'm going to be up there in a couple of weeks and will be playing this course but I was wondering what other courses are worth playing up there. I've played Druids Glen and Port Ludlow. I've heard the UW course is nice and Gold Mountain also but don't have a lot of input about these or if any others are better than these. I probably will be staying by Seatac.

The Olympic Course at Gold Mountain is brilliant (the NCAA Men's West Regionals were held there this year, as was the 2006 Amateur Publinx), and the Cascade Course is very nice too. Gold Mt. is on the Olympic Peninsula side of Elliot Bay.

Newcastle is an upscale course in the Oki Golf portfolio, with the Coal Creek course providing great views of the city. The Home Course in Dupont (south of Seattle) is a new course getting good reviews. White Horse is another new course (north of Seattle, also on the Olympic Peninsula side of the Bay) getting raves. Kayak Point in Stanwood (farther north of Seattle) has a very good reputation. Willow's Run in Redmond is an option if you find yourself on the Eastside/Microsoft area. West Seattle is a nice city muni just south of downtown. Seattle Golf Guide provides a lot of basic information in one place for courses in the area. Hope this helps.

Best to get the Oki card www.okigolf.com and play the courses on that. Most are within reasonable driving distance from Seatac and has the best value.

THe platinum card allows you to play all six available courses. (i say 6 and not 8, because the other 2 are private members-only courses). The value is terrific: $309 for 6 courses w/ cart. Newcastle Coal creek course is $125 itself.

My 6 pick with the OkiCard would be:
1. Newcastle Coal Creek
2. Newcastle China Creek
3. Harbour Pointe
4. Echo Falls
5. Hawks Prairie Links
6. Hawks Prairie Woodlawn

You'd probably need more than a weekend to play all those.

Has anyone played this course lately? I heard they made a bunch of changes for the US open 2015 and some of the greens are still torn up. I am looking to play here soon and don't want to be disappointed because the pictures of this course look amazing. I also want to play this course before they jack up the prices closer to the US Open next year.

What's in my bag... Driver: Taylormade Aero Burner TP (10.5 degree) Fujikura Speeder 6.2 V.C. X-stiff 3-wood: Taylormade RBZ (15 degree) Hybrid: PING i15 (20 degree) Irons: PING S55 (4-W) with DG x100 Wedges: PING Tour s (50, 54 and 60 degree) Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport 1.5

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
