I’ve had to dodge balls from the range on hole 11. But dodging balls is part of the fun at Bellevue Muni.

Is that the short par 3

@Whit
Yep. I play from the blues, so that walk up to the tee box with my push cart is rough. But nothing beats the back 9 at Redmond Ridge lol

Those bunkers look familiar. How’s the course holding up? Is it wet? I haven’t been out since October

@Hart
Honestly, it’s no worse than when you played last. It’s wet but in good shape. They had to close the back nine for a few weeks because of the wind storm. The 12th green is being worked on because a tree fell on it, but other than that, I enjoyed playing today.

I lived across the street in Sixty-01. Loved heading to the range and playing a round. I was there at least twice a week. Those were magical times in the PNW for me. I don’t miss the par 5 Z hole or the green on 9 though.
This post made my day, thanks

Great observation! It took me a bit, but those sand traps are definitely recognizable

This is a municipal course? In the Bay, the fairway would be mostly mud and it would cost a hundred dollars.

Looks too dry. I don’t believe you

The Rainier in the cart gives it away

  1. Love the Billy Strings headcover

  2. I miss living in Seattle. Those municipal courses are amazing being only a 15 minute drive from a major city and only about $37 to play.

  3. I really miss those winter rounds in the PNW. Sometimes muddy but still playable for several days each winter. Now I’m in NJ and my club is buried under a few inches of snow and pretty much shut down except for using the simulator for another 8 weeks.

I think I paid $35 yesterday. Prime time on weekends can be $60 or more, especially if you ride a cart. There are good courses and fair prices around Seattle, just have to find them.
