Five Seattle Area Public Courses that suck donkey dick

I'm not a fan of any Seattle public course so yeah its hard to compile that list. You were right on an earlier post. You have to drive away to find decent public golf.
Its been a LONG time since i've played Druids. I might need to go back so I can assess it but I wasn't a fan before. Washington National is a nice risk/reward type course too but I think its overpriced and it doesn't drain well.
-
Haven’t played Druids in awhile either, its had some bad times with conditioning over the years with losing some greens. But I’ve seen it in great conditions too. The layout is strong imo and they had a US Open qualifier this year. To get that I assume it’s in decent shape these days.

Kalispel is the former Spokane Country Club. Open to the public but not a municipal course. Privately owned by the Kalispel tribe
-
I've played Willows once. Thought it was super boring (too flat) and way too expensive. Not sure how it ever got a good reputation. I also remember it having a ton of soft areas.
White Horse is pretty good, but I think it costs a little more money than it should. It's always in good shape, though.
Gold Mountain is great. Kitsap County has some great courses.
-
Willows was nicer back in the day. The draw was always the location and that it was slightly better than Tall Chief or Carnation (RIP to both) where us poor Eastside kids grew up playing.
-
I played a lot at Tall Chief and Carnation as a flooring consultant. Very relaxed
-
The back nine at Tall Chief when it got baked out was something else.
-
It’s been awhile since Tall Chief was around but I enjoyed those 12 holes is what I remember.
Blue Heron is sorta shitty but it had a nice charm to it, especially the shot over the river
-
Tall Chief had 18 and then went to 12 and then just gone. That hole behind the parking lot was fucking crazy, #10 or 11 if I remember.

Bob you ever play Plateau Club? Talk about a private club that kinda sucks. I got to play that back in the day with my old Oki Card and I pretty much remember how shitty that one was.
Besides Sahalee and Snoqualmie what private clubs are good?
