The property features 36 holes of championship golf across two courses — Coal Creek (7,024 yards, designed by Robert E. Cupp in consultation with Fred Couples) and China Creek (6,632 yards) — supported by a 44,000 sq ft English Manor-style clubhouse, a 30-station covered and heated practice facility with grass tees, the Rusty Putter 18-hole putting course, three on-site dining venues (Calcutta Grill, Turnberry's, and the private Wooly Toad), and a golf equipment/apparel retail shop. The club serves individual golfers, families, corporate event planners, and wedding couples across the Pacific Northwest and Seattle metropolitan area.
