Suncadia Resort (Prospector course)

4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 2005

The Prospector course at Suncadia Resort is one of three championship layouts at this popular resort, and one that ranks with some of the best in Washington state. It is kept company by the Rope Rider layout, and the Tom Doak-designed member-only Tumble Creek course.

The tree-lined Arnold Palmer-designed Prospector course provides a wonderful parkland test for your all-round game. Many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes are included in this layout. A must play if you are in the area.

Did you know?

The Suncadia Resort sits just below the small town of Roslyn, with the Cascade Mountains all around, and magnificent Mt Rainier (aka Tacoma) away to the southwest. Roslyn once drew immigrants from around the world to work its vast seams of coal. Today, the mines are closed.

Roslyn’s small unassuming homes are former miners’ cottages, while the larger homes were often boarding houses or brothels. Many of Roslyn’s downtown buildings remain remarkably as they were in the early 1900s.

Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).

Who's Who

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.

Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
