Challenge your irons. Comments from Brad Habenicht, Maple Valley, Washington Washingtons finest 9 hole championship, authentic Scottish links style course. Only 35 minutes from downtown Seattle, located in the scenic rural Maple Valley countryside, Taylor Creek plays very dry year round, never any temporary greens or mats, and is always in excellent condition. Huge rolling mounds, deep grass bunkers, hidden sand pot bunkers, several carries over wetlands to fairways.
Water hazards come into play on several holes.
Massive old growth evergreen trees scattered throughout course. Holes 5 an 6 play through an Ancient apple orchard. You feel like you have just been transported to Ireland or Scotland for a round of golf. Every hole has its own special name which reflects the challenges awaiting golfers. It is a true test of golfing ability.
