Made a trip to scenic Yakima

Anyone ever play this place? I thought it was nice. I dont play a lot of higher end courses but I'd take Apple Tree over anything the Portland area has to offer. Spongy tee boxes and a couple that were just in bad shape. Otherwise pretty immaculate conditions and landscaping.

I suck at pics and didn't get one of the signature 17th which is a downhill par 3 to an island shaped like an apple. Its visible way back in the 2nd pic. Really not a hard shot in light wind amd we all hit the green from the blues. I was 10' away and three putted.

That’s a good track, played it a bunch back when I was a dry-sider…

I always love the contrast between a desert backdrop and a clear blue sky

I went over to Wenatchee over the weekend and played Rope Rider on the way over at Suncadia - challenging course. The fairway bunkers can be magnets. A little overpriced for what you get but it's a solid course in my opinion. Prefer it to Prospecter. We then drove up from Wenatchee to Desert Canyon. Holy shitballs, that course is awesome. Hard in the right places.

Apple Tree is definitely on my list. Thanks for the intel. Gotta check that one out.

Best public course in the state is Gamble Sands. The short 9 is supposed to be awesome, too.

I was also partial to Golfgreen Golf Center in Longview. RIP

Played Apple Tree on a bachelors party trip once. Super fun. Birdied 18 and shotgunned a beer

18 is a tricky hole. I wasn't sure where or how far to hit the tee shot, botched it, and finished with a double.
