Club Chatter Golf

Aldarra Golf Club in Sammamish, WA

Tom Fazio’s only golf course in the state of Washington. Built on the original site of the Boeing Family Farm, this 18 hole par 71 private GEM meanders through rolling terrain with unforgettable views of Mt. Si and the Cascade Mountains. No houses, pristine conditions, and a world class design make Aldarra a true golfer’s paradise.

Founder’s Mission Statement: “To promote the game of golf and its rich history-while providing our strong membership and its guests with the best conditioned golf course and the best private golf club experience in the Northwest. We will accomplish this by maintaining a pleasing club environment through our commitment to a quality staff, friendly service, and superb facilities.”

Renovations started in April 1999 where only the best of the best materials and people were used. Each fairway, green, and tee box were seeded with bent grass and the rough was carefully established with a sod combination of rye or bluegrass from eastern Washington. With the majority of the first 100 charter members, the Founders struck the first tee shots on May 4, 2001.

When you see a place on TV and dream of going there since you were 10 years old. Getting to this property was the definition of “when the group chat turns into a golf trip.”

Course was hard, unforgiving, and everything I’d hoped for. Top notch hospitality from the arrival to departure

I can’t wait to come back

Ledgemont CC. Seekonk, MA.

First time out at this private track and it did not disappoint. Originally built in West Warwick, RI (now Valley CC), Ledgemont moved to Seekonk in 1949 to expand to 18-holes for the growing membership. Designed by Alfred Tull, known for creating natural, flowing routings that fit the landscape. Host of many New England marque events, this track has stood the test of time.

JT to split with Bones a week before the Masters 🤯

Will any of these guys take the this year?

Taking this year seriously!

Established in 1898, Tatnuck Country Club has a rich history and a strong sense of community, making it a favorite destination for golf enthusiasts and social gatherings alike.

This incredible club hosted the annual Invitational this year where Team New England brought the Cup back home!

Thoughts on the Menu?

Opening hole at King Kamehameha Golf Club on Maui, Hawaii. One of our favorite layouts, with risk reward on every shot. There are multiple ways to play the course, so we ended up playing 27 due to the conditions and having the place to ourselves. Thank you to the entire staff!

#7 Wailea Blue. Maui, HI 121 yard Par 3

One of our favorite Par 3 holes around. Views speak for itself, but the wind and hole locations bring a lot of that risk vs reward we all want.

Not a private track, but Chemawa Golf Course gets a very special shout out. This place is open to the public, but is taken care of like a private course. Short track, beautifully manicured, always a great experience

There few words to describe the newly renovated … Pure is a good one to start with. Rewards great shots, immediately penalizes mediocre shots. Every putt demanded your full attention.

Even better than the course, the staff. Pro staff was there every step of the way, and then some! And I could have asked Dennis, 25 year bartender, about 243 more questions about the stories he had.

This is the stuff that keeps us coming back for more than the game.
