Suncadia Resort - Prospector Course
Cle Elum, WA — The Prospector Course at Suncadia Resort, designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer and his Palmer Course Design Company, opened in 2005 as the first of two public courses at the resort. Palmer's design philosophy shines through in this 18-hole, par-72 mountain golf course, which measures 7,100 yards and is seamlessly integrated into a pine and fir forest in Cle Elum, Washington. The course features rolling, undulating fairways, strategically placed lakes and ponds, and well-bunkered greens, offering a blend of playability and challenge. The 10th hole, a 411-yard par 4, is often cited as a signature hole, known for its dramatic elevation changes and stunning views. The course is celebrated for its pristine conditions and the feeling of seclusion, providing a true mountain golf experience with breathtaking vistas at every turn. Prospector offers a memorable and engaging round for golfers of all skill levels, rewarding thoughtful play amidst the natural beauty of the Cascade Mountains.
