Port Ludlow Golf Club - Washington, U.S.A.

The Resort at Port Ludlow is located 28 miles west of Seattle, across Puget Sound, and can be reached by a half-hour ferry ride. The Port Ludlow Golf Club has three nines, Tide, Timber, and Trail, designed by Robert Muir Graves. The holes are carved out of a dense evergreen forest of Douglas fir and cedar that was once a logging site. Prior to its opening in 1976, the first 18 holes were cleared by a team of 60 lumberjacks who spent months wielding chainsaws and machetes. Giant cedar stumps, clogged with ferns, mosses, and wild berries, protrude from the fairways and the peat bog that comes into play on several holes. The tee boxes are roped with the old boom chains that were used to bundle logs in the harbor. The resort overlooks Ludlow Bay and Hood Canal, with Olympic National Forest just to the west, and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance.

TPC At Snoqualmie Ridge - Washington, U.S.A.

The TPC at Snoqualmie Ridge is located in the town of Snoqualmie, a half-hour drive east of Seattle. Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1999, the course is cradled by Mount Si and the foothills of the Cascades. Built on an exceptionally rugged site with over 300 feet of elevation change between the third and 16th tees, Snoqualmie Ridge features carries over ravines and generous fairways splashed with 107 bunkers of pure white Idaho sand. The Snoqualmie Falls are visible from the 12th tee, and from the back tees the course stretches to 7,264 yards. Snoqualmie Ridge will host a Champions Tour event starting in 2005.
