And if you must know, and mostly because I am sucker for the sweeping vistas and generally dry & sunny conditions associated with golf courses in Eastern Washington, my personal favorite golf course in all of Washington is.... Gamble Sands. Feel free to argue my pick or make a case for adding a course in the comments below
They are: 1) Greens conditioning 2) Overall course conditioning 3) Course layout 4) Crowds & Pace of Play 5) Amenities 6) Scenery
I also need to preface my rankings with the idea that for some courses on my list, it's been several years since I last played them - And conditions can certainly change over time
