Constructed on a rolling 560-acre property that once belonged to the Boeing family, Tom Fazio’s course at Aldarra Golf Club was his first project in Washington State.
In fact, as the designer states, “Aldarra was our first course in the Northwest, which makes it a very important golf course. If my design firm is going to ‘fly our flag’ in a particular area, the golf can’t be just good, it has to be ‘as good as it gets’”.
The Fazio fairways at Aldarra have been routed through a heavily forested, secluded landscape with significant changes in elevation that allow amazing views of Mount Si and the surrounding Cascade mountains – it’s all very understated but spectacular, nonetheless.
The closing four holes have acquired the moniker of “The Gauntlet,” as in the gauntlet being thrown down to signify a challenge over the final four holes, which comprise a long par three and three demanding par fours. Depending on how badly beaten up you already feel on the 15th tee of such a tough course, will you be able to resist the challenge over the final stretch?
