Designed by
renowned architect
Keith Foster as the centerpiece of an exclusive
residential country club community, Druids
Glen ultimately debuted as a high-end daily-fee
course in 1997. Routed through thickly- forested terrain with barely a building in view
(other than the gorgeous club-house and Fire Creek Grill)
Druids Glen offers a peaceful escape from the noisy
work-a-day world.
And while the
setting may be
serene, including frequent views of nearby Mt. Rainier,
Druids Glen provides a stern test of your
game. There is
water in play on 11 of the 18 holes and back
tee yardage stretches to 7146!
Despite that, with four
sets of tees, anyone can find a game to their liking at
Druids Glen.
The course is carpeted tee to green in
lush bent grass and it features smooth,
true putting surfaces that
(somewhat unfortunately) leave only the player to blame
for misses with the flatstick. In addition, a
consistent sanding regime has vastly improved drainage,
making Druids Glen one of the drier layouts in the
Northwest. But, any chunked pitches or
lip-outs will soon be forgotten as you lose yourself
in the natural beauty of the course and its
surroundings. As award winning course architect
Keith Foster put it,
"It is rare to have an opportunity to
design a course on property as spectacular as this.
The views, the elevation change, and a desire to
create a championship quality course made this a truly
special project."
Druids Glen sports a spacious driving range and
huge putting green to help you prepare for the challenge
ahead. Located in Covington, just east of
Kent, it is easily accessible for our guests staying
anywhere from Seattle or Bellevue down to Tacoma.
The onsite Fire Creek Grill features delicious
Northwest-inspired dishes as well as great
pub-fare for before- or after-round dining -- and a
summertime patio provides a great place to
tote up the damage and settle any wagers. Of
course, Northwest micro-brews and wines are on tap at
the bar, and all this is served up with spectacular
hilltop views of the course and Mt.
Rainier.
Druids Glen is a peaceful, yet
spectacularly scenic hidden-gem and is a course truly
worth playing on your next visit to the
Northwest!
