Salish Cliffs Golf Club at Little Creek Casino & Resort has been named one of Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play for 2026. The Squaxin Island Tribal-owned course is among the publication’s top golf destinations.
The recognition will appear in Golfweek’s Best Casino issue, publishing in September and reaching more than 750,000 golfers nationwide.
Located just 20 minutes from Olympia and approximately 70 minutes from Seattle, Salish Cliffs offers an 18-hole, par 72 championship layout that plays 7,269 yards from the championship tees. The course combines world-class golf with stunning Pacific Northwest scenery and a sense of seclusion, with 16 of its 18 holes surrounded by lush forestry.
“We’re honored to have Salish Cliffs recognized by Golfweek as one of the Best Courses You Can Play,” said Tyler Brown, Director of Golf & Club Operations at Salish Cliffs. “This recognition is a reflection of the exceptional golf experience our team provides while preserving the natural beauty and character of the land. From the dramatic Pacific Northwest setting and championship layout to our commitment to environmental stewardship, Salish Cliffs offers golfers an experience that is truly distinctive.”
Since opening in September 2011, Salish Cliffs has become a premier golf destination in the Pacific Northwest. Designed by Gene Bates, the course features dramatic elevation changes of up to 600 feet with frequent uphill and downhill tests. Challenging bunker placement and distinctive directional changes keep the layout dynamic from hole to hole, while golfers take in 360-degree views of the Kamilche Valley, with natural rock facings and dense forest.
Salish Cliffs is located on the same property as Little Creek Casino & Resort, providing guests with access to a complete destination experience that includes gaming, entertainment, dining, lodging and spa services alongside championship golf.
