Golf
Set in the forest
on the Sammamish Plateau east of Seattle, The Plateau Club features an 18-hole,
Perry Dye and Masatsugu Saito designed, championship golf course with two distinct nines. The front nine, opened in 1997, is carved from
forested surroundings and preserves a sense of solitude; the back nine,
completed in 1998, reflects a more suburban setting with new homes visible on
some holes. The highly rated golf course stretches nearly 7,200 yards through
secluded forests and offers five sets of tees for players of all abilities. The
contoured greens are protected by more than 50 bunkers, with water hazards
strategically situated on 11 of the 18 holes. A state-of-the-art drainage
system allows year-round play, while protecting the nearby wetlands and
wildlife.
The
Plateau Club offers a variety of practice facilities
including a driving range, putting green and short game area. The 270 yard
natural grass range offers teeing area room for 25 golfers. In addition, a
large putting green adjacent to the clubhouse provides uphill, downhill and
right to left, and left to right practice. A short game area allows players to
improve bunker work, chipping, or bump and run exercises.
A
staff of PGA professionals is available for individual or group, clinic style
instruction year-round. Complimentary beginner clinics are available by
request, covering basic swing, rules of the game and golf
etiquette
Clubhouse
In
1999, The Plateau Club turned to the region's visionary design firm, Anderson,
Koch & Smith, to design a "Northwest-style" clubhouse
that would exist in tune with the serene setting and respectful of its natural
surroundings. Our clubhouse's "Northwest Style" is characterized by graceful
sheltering roofs, interior ceilings that echo the roof forms, soft muted colors
and a generous use of glass to maximize exposure to the beautiful views and golf
course vistas. The intent was to create a building that feels like a home away
from home, focusing on the use of natural materials and soft lighting. Special
effort was made to provide every room with a view. The clubhouse design includes
an elegant, inviting entrance and a transparent terrace rail that does not
interfere with the views.
The Clubhouse is
a two-story, 37,500 square foot contemporary building showcasing a variety of
dining and recreational amenities. The
inviting entry levels features an upscale Pro Shop, administration offices, the
Red Alder Grill and Red Alder Lounge (offering Northwest cuisine), beautifully appointed banquet and meeting spaces, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the 9th and
18th greens.
On the lower
level you will find the Crooked Stick Snack Bar (lighter fare), men’s and ladies
locker rooms and access to the golf course.
Recreation
In
addition to award-winning golfing, the Plateau Club includes a family Recreation Center, opened
in 2000, which offers a clubhouse, competition sized swimming pool and tennis
courts, childcare center, fitness room, children’s training pool, whirlpool,
game room, snack bar, and a multi purpose space for aerobics, pilates and other
activities.
