The signature Coal Creek course offers jaw-dropping vistas combined with characteristics of the game’s most legendary courses, giving you one of the tougher challenges in Washington State. The layout features wellbunkered landing areas, rolling fairways, undulating, wellconditioned greens, and elevation changes requiring proper club selection. The opening hole at 621 feet is nothing short of captivating. As you move from tee box to tee box, you’ll want to take a moment to soak in the natural beauty of the course as you realize the aesthetic framing of each hole. And while you’re finishing the 18th, the majestic 44,000-square-foot clubhouse beckons. After replaying your round over refreshments at Newcastle’s Wooly Toad, head to your home-away-from-home at the incomparable, stately Alexis Hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle. The property epitomises urban cool, as stylish and contemporary as the city it resides in. It’s filled with works from some of the city’s best-known artists, capturing your attention as you move through its lovely spaces. Rooms are individually designed with period touches so each guest will enjoy elegant décor and chic living, yet with enough technology to keep you in touch. It’s an easy four-minute walk to the Seattle Art Museum and the city’s waterfront. Or use one of the bicycles loaned to guests so you can get out and explore, finding your own secret spot in Seattle. Tuck in for a meal at the hotel’s renowned Bookstore Bar & Café and prepare to be wined, dined and wowed. Executive Chef 50 | YOURCADDY MAG - ISSUE 05
