I'm actually looking at something similar, but in the first weekend of April. I'll probably do an overnight before I drive out. I can report back if I play any of those courses.
So, how was your trip to Seattle? How soggy are the courses looking this time of year?
Unfortunaly, my weather app forecast says 60% chance of rain on the 27th. Maybe it will clear up as Thursday nears. Either way, I'm still chucking plastic.
Wow, talk about grinding out some courses. That's pretty impressive. Thanks for the info, sounds like navigating Lakewood in a timely manner might require a guide.
It was good. Everything was just muddy most of the time. Not over the top, but enough of a pain in the ass...
Saturday was :
SeaTac/Lakewood/Mineral Springs/Terrace Creek
Sunday was:
Gateway Guardians/Silver Lake/Ferguson Park/Lake Stevens/Church Creek/Bakerview Park/NSRA, followed by a 5 hour drive (that turned into 6.5 because of a snowstorm in the moutains).
The next Friday, I hit Cornwall Park (Bellingham)
Saturday: Steilacoom (all three courses), Ambient and East Tacoma.
SeaTac was damn fun...I'd love another run at that. The planes flying SO LOW was a trip.
Lakewood was fun, but the lack of signage is gigantic bummer. I was lucky enough to hook up with a local playing solo, or there's no way I would have figured out the nav. Mineral Springs is .....unique. If you've played it, you know what I mean. Terrace Creek was a nice surprise...I very much enjoyed it.
Lake Stevens was decent, especially with the wonky baskets. Silver Lake and Church Creek were decent 9's. NSRA was really fun...loved the scenery. Bakerview was like walking on a muddy sponge...so dirty.
Steila was fun. The 9 was surprisingly good, SE was good, and NW was really good. NW is my kinda course. Ambient...LoL. They made a decent course in a really small space.
All in all, a darn fun two weekends, with some fantastic mountain driving in between!
I could likely join you if you'd like a guide. Lakewood flows intuitively once you've been through it a couple times, but it's one of those things that locals have played it for so long we forget how it looks to newcomers. Fortunately, I do believe that tee signs are planned for the near future.
Stardoggy, you forgot to tell us your experience at East Tacoma.
I don't put too much stock in a forecast that's more than 4 or 5 days out around here, it could go either way. We've had a really wet winter, but there have actually been alot of chances to play without getting completely soaked, or even wet for that matter.

...I'm hoping to be at White River around noon on Thursday the 27th, but that is totally reliant on arrival time, which should be 930, then getting through the airport with luggage, rental car, the traffic, ect. I will be using a temp cell phone( 5593040646) when I get there. I'll be the guy carrying a black mahal!
