Ted Locke

Redmond, WA

Coyote Creek is one of two 18-hole golf courses at the Willows Run Golf Complex in Redmond, Washington, within the Sammamish River Valley. The course was designed by Ted Locke of British Columbia and opened in 1997 as part of a 45-hole public facility. Coyote Creek is designed as the more forgiving of the complex's two full-length courses, with wide fairways, softer edges, and few forced carries, making it popular with families, women, and senior golfers. The par-74 layout plays to about 6,344 yards from the back tees and offers a view of Mt. Rainier from the fifth tee. The complex also includes a nine-hole short course, a companion 18-hole course called Eagle's Talon, and a family putting course, all open to public play with tee times bookable online.

Bellingham, WA

North Bellingham Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in Bellingham, Washington, built on the former Wilder Ranch and opened in July 1995 by Caitac USA Corp. It was designed by architect Ted Locke, who aimed to preserve the open, rolling character of the farmland site rather than adding trees or hills. The course plays as a links-style layout with broad fairways, flowering meadows and firm turf, allowing running approach shots on many greens. It measures about 6,793 yards from the back tees at a par of 72, and prevailing winds off the open terrain are a defining feature, along with water hazards that come into play on numerous holes. Panoramic views of Mount Baker are visible from several holes.
