The Golf Club at Newcastle is a beautiful golf course with some of the most spectacular views in the Seattle area. The panoramic scenery overlooking the Seattle skyline, Lake Washington, and the surrounding landscape is absolutely breathtaking. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and stunning views make this course a truly memorable place to play golf. The course itself is generally well maintained, with nice fairways, good greens, and an enjoyable layout. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. One of the biggest issues is the drainage. Some areas don't drain water very well, leaving the ground wet and soggy. The course can also get quite crowded, which sometimes affects the pace of play and overall experience. Considering the premium green fees, I personally feel the value for money isn't quite as good as it should be. At this price point, I would expect better drainage and a smoother pace of play. Overall, I'm giving it four stars. The breathtaking scenery and beautiful course make it worth experiencing, but there is definitely room for improvement, especially considering the price. I would still recommend playing here at least once for the incredible views alone.
Beautiful golf course that’s always in excellent condition. The pro shop, starters, and halfway hut staff were all efficient and warmly welcoming. The driving range was awesome with the cost included in the green fee.
I photographed a private event at The Newcastle Gold Club and we had a blast at this 'Moulin Rouge' themed birthday party! The space was perfect for themed night full of dancing, views, and gorgeous photographs looking over the city. The food and service were top-notch and made the whole event spectacular!
Good course. Beautiful views. Awful patrons. Never seen pace of play so slow with a complete refusal to let someone play thru despite a very empty course. The “members” can’t be bothered to let anyone else enjoy the course. No reason to come back, as the members surely want.
Absolutely a “must visit” type of course. Greens were in great condition, the staff is friendly, and the views are out of this world. Will definitely play here again when I get the chance
