Plateau Club
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I secure a tee time at Plateau Club if I'm not a member?
Plateau Club is a private course, so getting on isn't as simple as booking online. Your best bet is to play as a guest with an existing member; that's how we've always experienced its pristine fairways. Occasionally, they might have reciprocal arrangements with other private clubs, so it's worth checking with your home course's pro shop.
What's the best time of year to play Plateau Club for ideal conditions and weather?
We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The Pacific Northwest weather is at its most cooperative then, offering comfortable temperatures and the course is typically in peak condition, showcasing its lush greens and perfectly manicured fairways. Avoid the height of summer if you dislike warmer temperatures, or winter when rain can make play less enjoyable.
What unique challenges or signature holes should I look out for at Plateau Club?
You'll definitely want to pay attention to the elevation changes throughout the course; they're not just scenic but demand smart club selection and accurate carries. The par-3 17th is a real stunner, often playing downhill to a well-guarded green, offering a fantastic view and a true test of nerve before you head to the finishing hole. Don't let the beauty distract you from the tricky pin positions.
What kind of overall experience and pace of play should I expect at Plateau Club?
Expect a top-tier, unhurried golf experience with excellent service from the moment you arrive. The club prides itself on maintaining a comfortable pace of play, usually around four hours, thanks to a well-managed tee sheet and members who respect the game. It's a place where you can truly focus on your golf and enjoy the surroundings without feeling rushed.
Is playing Plateau Club worth the green fee, and what should I budget for a round?
Absolutely, playing Plateau Club is a premium experience that we believe is well worth the investment for its exceptional conditioning and thoughtful design. While guest fees fluctuate, you should budget for a higher-end private club rate, typically in the $200-$300 range, plus caddie or cart fees if applicable. It's an investment in a memorable round of golf.
