The Prospector course at Suncadia Resort is one of three championship layouts at this popular resort, and one that ranks with some of the best in Washington state. It is kept company by the Rope Rider layout, and the Tom Doak-designed member-only Tumble Creek course.

The tree-lined Arnold Palmer-designed Prospector course provides a wonderful parkland test for your all-round game. Many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes are included in this layout. A must play if you are in the area.

Did you know?

The Suncadia Resort sits just below the small town of Roslyn, with the Cascade Mountains all around, and magnificent Mt Rainier (aka Tacoma) away to the southwest. Roslyn once drew immigrants from around the world to work its vast seams of coal. Today, the mines are closed.

Roslyn’s small unassuming homes are former miners’ cottages, while the larger homes were often boarding houses or brothels. Many of Roslyn’s downtown buildings remain remarkably as they were in the early 1900s.
