Client Course Description

Sahalee country Club, located in Sammamish, Washington, is rated one of the top 100 courses in America. Sahalee, which means “High Heavenly Ground”, opened in 1969 after 27 holes were carved out of the tall majestic Cedar and Douglas Fir native to the Pacific Northwest.

Designer Notes

Sahalee Country Club, located in Redmond hosted the 1998 PGA Championship. The course is best known for its tight fairways framed with magnificent evergreens. However, the ever changing rolling terrain adds a great deal to the beauty and playability of this outstanding venue.

Designer is working with club representatives to develop a comprehensive tree management plan.
