Saturday we spent time at The Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim, WA. We arrived about an hour before our tee time. Sequim is known for being very dry as it is in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. The Cedars website says "...driest course in Western Washington..." and it is mid-July, should be a pleasant day.
We unfortunately arrived at the tail end of 4-days of rain. The historical data shows they recieved 0.3-inches over the 4 days. Doesn't seem like much, but we found standing water on most of the greens with one hole unplayable.
We only played the front nine as the Lavendar Festival was calling us...
The course has character and was in good shape, other than the greens.
More dissapointing than the greens was the service in the restaurant. We sat down 30-minutes before our tee time and asked if we ordered would it be fast as we tee off in 30 minutes. She said they weren't busy, no problem. We waited, waited and waited. I was about to lay down a couple of bucks for the coffee and juice and head to the first tee when the food arrived, six minutes before our tee time. I'm not too sure how I made par on the first hole.
This is a good course in the region, provided the weather cooperates. Don't expect good service in the restaurant...
