The GC @ Newcastle
Newcastle, WA (just across Lake Washington from Seattle)
Newcastle's China Creek Course was named #7 in Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses for Women, 2005
Greens Fees: $125
China Creek Course: Dramatic views, undulating terrain and pure rolling greens are part of this extraordinary golf experience. With a layout that stresses decision-making, China Creek is a course golfers will love round after round
Coal Creek Course: Stunning city and mountain views frame The Golf Club at Newcastle's signature course, Coal Creek. These jaw-dropping vistas serve only to enhance this Robert E. Cupp/Fred Couples-designed course, which plays over 7,000 yards and features 300 feet in elevation change.
Where To Booze & Grub: Newcastle's Calcutta Grill was named to Golf Digest's Top 100 19th Holes. "A 'real surprise -- not sure which is better, the actual bar or the incredible view of downtown Seattle'; 'classic' three-sided bar; wood floor, fireplace; feels like a private club." The menu features Northwestern fare, so order the smoked salmon corn chowder, the Dungeness crab melt sandwich, or the Qiunault River Sturgeon. They also offer a nice upscale wine list.
