Suncadia Resort

Prospector is located in Washington's version of Sunriver, the Suncadia Resort. It is located off of exit 80 on Interstate 90 about 70 miles east of Seattle. Master planned resort community with a private course Tumble Creek, and the Prospector, an Arnold Palmer design which is open to the public, as well as the new Rope Rider. Rope Rider is a Jacobsen and Hardy design that was carved through and over the existing land, a a former coal-mining operation. The seventh and ninth holes run along Tipple Hill, a 120-foot-high pile of coal tailings covered by dirt and vegetation. It's is named for the miners who balanced themselves on the roped coal cars that went into the mines. Prospector is routed through tall pine tree lined forests with views of the eastern slopes of the Cascades throughout the course. It can play to 7100 yards, but is a tough, tough course from the tips, there's three other sets of tees which I'd advise using if you're not a scratch player. Plenty of tight fairways, well bunkered holes, and the usual Palmer risk/reward design features. Great conditioning, rates are stiff, but a great golf experience, and superb views. Well worth the cost.
