The course looks beautiful when you arrive. When you get out and start playing it is very short and large power lines run thru the majority of the front and some of the back nine. It is a mediocre public course for the price. Greens are bumpy and slow but otherwise in good shape. Fairways are very nice as well as the rough. Id really be aware of how short the course is in comparison to the price. It is just shy of 6000 yards and costs $66.77 for golf and cart. They also dont offer military rates. They have a military card but its not worth the money. You pay $25 for the card then get discounted rates. That would work if it were next to base. Their membership rates are what really astounded me. Its $245 a month for unlimited play with a minimum obligation of 1 year (sounds like the gym memberships you cant get out of). Then its an additional $145 per person per month that you want to add. Dan the "manager" said thats not too bad. Its actually pretty expensive Daniel. Take into consideration a private course where you could golf unlimited with a family and have access to tennis courts and pools. You would pay a startup fee, but depending on the size of your family the monthly dues would be much less in comparison. Especially when you consider the product you receive for the money spent. This is a public course that wants to appear private and exclusive unfortunately. Dan the manager was rude, the other young gentleman in the pro shop was not knowledgeable in the course costs at all but the young guy who meets you at the 18th green is outstanding (tip big). Dan the manager was very dismissive and also did not know if the snack shack was open on number 5. This seems like a small matter but to me I think a manager should be aware of the ins and outs of his course. If he is committed that is. All in all I would say spend your hard earned cash elsewhere. Its too expensive for such a short course and bad customer service. Dont be sucked in by the view when you first drive up.

I really enjoyed the design of this course. Im an avid golfer and used to play competitively, and I stumbled upon Echo Falls because no one else had a tee time for 1 player. The fairways are tight and there isnt much room for error off the tee. This continues with most approach shots as the greens are super tiny and are surrounded by thick rough. A good short game from thick grass is key to scoring low here. The greens are fast and the bunkers are strategically placed. Throw away the driver for this course...simply not needed, even from the blues. Why 4 stars? They dont water this place as much as they should (sure it saves water, but for their prices, should be watering more). There are places on the course where the grass has literally dried up and blown away (they dont really come into play, but it looks horrendous). Secondly, the prices are a little steep for what you get. Definitely give this place a try, and if you have kids, this is a wonderful place to emphasize the importance of a good short game early on.

I played here for the first time yesterday (June 1, 2017). It is fantastic! It rained pretty hard in the morning but the course wasnt wet at all. The golf course is a good mix of wide open holes and very narrow holes (1 and 9 are especially tight). Its just shy of 6000 from the tips but feels longer due to the layout. All of the holes are a good mix of short and long (e.g. a 110 yard par 3 but also a 200 yard par 3). You can pull driver on every hole, but you dont have to. The tee boxes and fairways were well maintained and the rough was a reasonable length. The greens were immaculate! Perfectly maintained and very quick, but consistent throughout the course. They are tricky but not tricked up, meaning you can actually make a putt. 17 and 18 are two of the toughest but best finishing holes Ive played anywhere....18 is particularly awesome! Also, all of the staff we encountered were very friendly! Overall, Echo Falls is an awesome place to golf and to spend the day. Ill be going back soon!

Its certainly an interesting course... The 2 finishing holes are terrific and at least let you leave with a smile on your face, assuming you play them well. But there are some bizarre holes mixed in. The course is really short and has 6 par 3s. One of them is better suited for a pitch and putt course, as it is less than 100 yards. Another two run parallel to each other and create a sort of cool/weird set up when you are on one of them. The 18th is an island green and another has a pond in front of the green. Its an interesting mix. It also features the most insane hill climb from the 11th green to the 12th tee followed by a tee shot straight back down the hill. Its basically a non-walkable course because of this. Its definitely a fun place to play, but its a somewhat weird experience. The course is normally in pretty good shape, but like most of the Oki courses, it feels overpriced.

Kind of a short track but I love this place. Definitely the best value of all the Oki courses. If youre ever trying to run 36 holes this is one of the best places to do it, 12-2 is usually open on weekends even in the middle of summer. Clubhouse staff is friendly and helpful. Grill staff has always been great and they have above average food. Pork belly was delicious and reasonably priced. Cart and food shack gals are usually attractive and nice to everyone. Not that they have to be pretty but when youre playing like crap, another friendly face helps. Studies have also shown that it helps how people perceive your business. Last two holes are tough, real tough. Decent amount of slope. Not an overwhelming amount of OB, 6 holes run parallel to each other. Good amount of water. Not as many bunkers as other, more challenging Oki courses.

We thought at the price point for this course, it would be pretty nice. Boy were we wrong. Turns out they dont much water the fairways. Hitting shots out of the center of the fairway was like hitting a ball off the parking lot. The bunkers were rock hard as well. Greens were in decent shape. The staff was very nice, which is about the only redeeming factor. Hole 17 being the "hardest hole in Washington" is true, but only because the tee, fairway and green are in such bad shape its almost unplayable. Save your money and go to a decent muni.

I like this course quite a bit even if it is a bit unconventional. Playing from the blues it still provides a fairly good challenge with long par 3s but gives you good opportunities for reaching par 5 holes in 2. Views are nice and the finish is always satisfying with the toughest hole on 17 and an island green on 18.

One of my more favorite public golf courses in Washington. Lots of small ponds and slope changes throughout the course makes it super fun. The 12th hole is the hardest walk on the course as its a severe uphill hike. My favorite hole is the 17th hole, which is an island par 3 over water, beautiful.
