Apple Tree Golf Course - Yakima, Washington

I cannot say enough about my/(our) recent experience at Apple Tree Golf Course....and I know my 3 buddies feel the same way. From the start we coordinated w/ the GM Kody Lamb. His responsiveness and professionalism set the bar very high for our anticipated 36 holes of golf. Once on site bright and early....we we met RON....this guy....is an OG (as the kids say these days)....he approached us with humor, class, curiosity, and quickly took an interest in our "why" for this round of golf. We were there on day 2 of a long weekend golf trip to remember a good friend that unexpectedly passed way to early. From that point forward...the bar just kept getting higher. After our first 18...we met Richie in the restaurant....the chefs hard at work preparing our delicious meal...and another check-in from RON to see how we enjoyed our round. We shared that the course was in immaculate shape, and all the helpful hints he gave us prior to our round were indeed helpful if we would have executed on them...LOL....and we could not wait to get started on the next 18. Ron asked a few more questions about our friend that passed, were we playing tomorrow (we were somewhat undecided), and thanked us for choosing Apple Tree Golf Course as part of our trip. We finished our delicious lunch and as we headed out to start our 2nd round for the day....there was RON....with a smile on his face....asking if he could help us make a decision for our round of golf the next day. He let us know that he noticed an opening became available just after his start time w/ his buddies....and asked if we would like to grab it for our round the next day. This was a no brainer...we were having so much fun...made to feel like family....and it was the perfect way to wrap up our trip remembering our friend and playing the game we LOVE, in his memory. Thanks Kody...Thanks Richie...Thanks Ron...and all the other staff for making our experience well worth the drive from the west-side of WA....we hope to see you all again!!!

First time @ Apple Tree Golf Course! AMAZING Club House. Course was amazing, very good shape and well taken care of, Cant wait to come back!!..... The Driving Range was in terrible shape crab grass everywhere, very uneven and very poorly repaired divots.

Beautiful course, worth experiencing. Spendy but worth it when I can afford it or it's not booked up

Early November 2023. I arrived 2 hours before my tee time, but thankfully the restaurant was open; I had a great breakfast overlooking the front 9. Grass driving range across the street by the 10th tee. Front 9 meanders in front of the clubhouse, through & near orchards. Back 9 starts across the street and has more houses, but they are back quite a bit from the fairways. A good amount of water & bunkers throughout. Some moderate elevation change, but nothing too drastic. Course was in great shape, well maintained and the greens were great. 2nd cut was clean. The only thing they could use is air for the spikes after a round, but not a deal-breaker. Glad I finally played here, it was a fun track and I will play it again sometime.

Good lunch at the restaurant prior to our round. We split a Cobb salad and kitchen plated the sapad beautifully. Fun course. Plenty of water hazards, but no unfair surprise elements.

Pros:
- Grass range
- Relaxed staff and atmosphere
- fast carts and no GPS slowing you down, preventing you from driving anywhere or alerting you redundant notifications
- front 9 is incredible, as are 16, 17, and 18. The property itself is just stunning.

Cons
- lack of direction going from hole 15 to 16. Easy fix by just having another sign pointing you to cross the road for 16, instead of naturally turning and going back to hole 10 and the range
- hole 10 through 15 are in a neighborhood with homes all along the fairway. Made the course not as special as it could be.
- nobody picked up the phone when calling the restaurant to order food on the turn. Ordering drinks/food on the turn was a complicated process in general.

great staff. beautiful course finished 18 in 3hrs 10min. a little pricey but the island green on #17 makes the course a must play if you’re in the area.

Golfed the course yesterday and absolutely LOVED it. I thought it exceeded expectations. There are some very unique holes and it is just a really cool place to have golfed.

For the experience, I thought the rates were very reasonable. The course was in excellent shape. Any condition issues were issues you'd see on ANY golf course of any caliber after a long hot summer of golf.

This would definitely be on my top five courses I've done in Washington list.
