The Death of Kayak Point: a discussion of Seattle public golf


James the Hogan Fan

Recommended Posts

I have been out of the area awhile now and couldn’t believe it when I heard Kayak was gone. 3 years ago I played there every friday in the summer. I’d get off work in Everett at 3, head up the 45 minutes to the course, and pay the $22 twilight. Usually I’d finish pretty easily. What a gem it would have been, if they had been able to keep it up. The routing was great in my mind, (only see the hole you’re playing) but the conditions were meh at best. I’m sad they had to go. Does anyone know what’s going to happen to it? It was one of my favorite courses...

I played there many many moons ago while visiting Seattle. I remember playing the front 9 in complete fog. Beautiful course, God's country out there. Too bad.

One of the top 50 public golf courses in the early years. I think was either ranked by the Golf Magazine or some publications.

 

Played it the first year it was open, and it was a much difficult design to navigate back then. Not a track for the beginners for sure.

We used to walk that golf course and what a work out. Love it . Not played there for years after I moved further away later on. Kinda difficult to drive 80-90 minutes one way and more time dealing with traffic to golf.

I did golf there a couple of years ago and boy, they had taken out some bunkers and trees , smoothed out uneven spots in the fairway, removed rough in many area........ I was told it was done to speed up the play, or in their words, more user friendly.

 

I knew the golf course was in financial trouble when the online booking offered $ 17 w a seat in the golf cart.

The location was what finally did it in, it was located 35-45 minutes off the freeway in the Native Indian Reservation off the coast of Puget Sound, a beautiful piece of land. I always thought that the golf course went the opposite direction for survival. With the location it was, instead of going more affordable they should move it to a high end resort type of destination, maybe with a hotel and casino near the water . It'll be huge development investment, but, it seemed the remote location stopped the average golfers from supporting it. The ones have the money still have lots of it and if offered something unique, the revenue should flow in from that group of consumers.

What I don;t understand was, there is an existing casino hotel and a huge Factory Outlet Mall near the freeway, why wouldn't the golf course utilize it to make packages of stay and play with the existing business ?

 

Anyhow, too late now and I'm sad to see it go.

  • 3 weeks later...

I had the pleasure and misfortune of being a part of the turf crew at Kayak Point from 2017 until it's closing in Oct. 2018. I really enjoyed my time there, and I learned and saw many things.

 

Although my time of employment was short, it was clear that the actual course has been in decline for a number of years. Like, decades. Poor management decisions, such as never automating the fairway irrigation, hinder the capability to provide "fair" playing conditions on such a hilly site on glacial soils, which become concrete when not consistantly watered in the summer.

 

The golf course is the gem here... Instead of focusing capital on it, a real grass putt putt and tons of landscaping (=$$$$$ to maintain) was added as well as upgrades to the clubhouse and kitchen (more $$$$$).

 

The lease agreement with the County makes it tough to entice the leasee to invest the capital necessary to maintain the course. Hard to convince people to invest $2million into a new irrigation system...that they don't own. The County doesn't want much to do with the management or funding of the course. Don't blame them, although a top rated course is a definite ++++ for the county.

 

No disrespect to those before me who put blood and sweat into KPGC, but the management companies really let the course fall apart, and for some reason the county never really noticed/cared (the conditions of the lease were violated in many ways)

 

This is about as briefly as I could relay the basics of the complicated situation that is "Kayak Point Golf Course"

First a hats off to you guys for doing what you could. I remember the greens being excellent even as the fairways and rough browned and died. I know I last played the course in 2016 but I never had a bad thing to say about maintenance; I always suspected behind-the-scenes complications and apparently there were.

 

A lot of courses I’ve been fond of have closed but Kayak stung, playing every week.

 

I maintain that that was the best laid-out course I’ve ever played. Dramatic elevation changes, doglegs, narrow chutes through forest, a couple wide open holes... If only by some miracle someone steps in... got about 4 courses I say that about...

It's pretty easy to see that it was lack of TLC when you played it. I was shocked when they decided to upgrade the club house vs. investing in the course. It really was the final coffin nail. And to wkou3's point about it being removed from the highway meant people weren't going out of their way to get food there.

Any chance Tulalip would want to buy the course? They have the capital to really turn the course around and would be good for stay and plays.

I'm not sure what kind future the course would have. I thought it was a terrible place to play. Granted a lot of that had to do with poor maintenance, but it's also far too tight to be interesting. They would need to cut down thousands of trees to open it up so that is much more playable. And cutting down trees is not an easy thing to do in Washington. I agree it is sad to lose any course, but in order to get Kayak up to a level where it would compete with the Oki courses, it would have to be a massive investment.

Competing with the Oki courses isn't hard. Especially after Trophy Lake and Washington National. I've only played Redmond Ridge once so i don't have a solid opinion on it. But the rest of the courses are mediocre to average given what you pay.

I never thought the course was that brutally tight. I did think the 9’s should be flipped because 1 was the tightest drive on the golf course, and 10 was the most wide open. The only other holes I could think of would be 13 and right fairway 14 (but that was kind of the point), 15 maybe, and 17-18.

 

I just loved the feel/ambiance of playing there, separate from all the holes you weren’t playing. It made up for the inevitible ball-meet-tree shots.

I agree with that. Seattle area public golf is below average for major metro areas. There are really only a handful of courses worth playing. Getting up to "average" for the area (which agree most Oki courses are) wouldn't be impossible, but I think it would still be a sizable investment.

Are you saying the the Seattle run public courses are bad or overall public courses in Seattle area?

 

Overall, Seattle area public courses are below average compared to other major metros. There are plenty of solid weekend courses, but very few are anything close to special. The terrain and weather in western Washington are not great for golf. The city does not have an appetite for golf the same way other top 20 cities do. It's completely understandable given how beautiful the area is and how many other things there are to do, but golf is very much a secondary thought in the Puget Sound region.

Good point...but what are the top 20 cities you are referring to?

The top 20 metro areas in terms of population. I just picked that as an arbitrary point of reference so that Seattle or Chicago is not compared to Missoula, Montana. If we were to compare cities that have pro sports teams, I would say Seattle is pretty far down that list in terms of quality golf.

would you say chambers bay, home course, gold mountain, West Seattle (summer conditions) would be on that below average list?

For those wondering about stay and play, or building a hotel, there are already 3 casinos (2 with hotels in close proximity). I believe there is already a Tulalip partnership in place with Battle Creek. BC is much closer to the freeway and casino/hotel/outlet mall.

 

I always enjoyed KP. The tight fairways never bothered me and I loved the elevation changes. I was sad, but not surprised to see it go.

Well 3 of those are minimum an hour from downtown Seattle (traffic to West Seattle can make it an hour too) and one requires a boat ride. West Seattle is the best of the 3 munis, but beyond that the ‘nice’ public to the north is I guess harbor point in Mukilteo? I think Willows Run is nice too. But in general the ‘upscale daily fee’ course is kind of lacking. I’m not going to complain because I think the first 13 holes at W.S. are very good as far as muni golf goes. But Jackson and Jefferson? Kinda meh honestly (opinion, they both have good sets of holes) and then there isn’t much else... Kenwanda, anyone?

 

Then again I have a very north-end, west-side view of the area. There are some good looking courses down south for sure, but from downtown to Everett, there really isn’t much.

 

As it relates to Kayak, do we think it would have a better chance as a $70-100 course offering Sahalee conditions?

No, those courses are very good and a lot of fun to play. I'm trying to make the point that golf in Seattle taken as a whole is below average when compared to other big cities. There are certainly several good courses in greater Seattle (just like there are good players on bad teams), but the list is not as deep as other cities. For example, I think Chicago has 15+ courses that are comparable to the Home Course, while Seattle only has a handful of that quality. And for the record, I would consider all of those courses greater Seattle, even if they are an hour away.

 

Bringing this back to Kayak, I don't know if it would do better at a higher green fee. I think there is a shortage of $40 - 50 courses. But as it has been pointed out, Kayak is a ways off of I-5 so it might be tough to drive sufficient volume. In order for the course to improve, it needs an investment. But it's tough to imagine how that would pay off in terms of a positive ROI. Would the course do better if it were in the Oki or Premier networks? Not that those courses are all that special, but Kayak might get more play from the network benefits.

I can get by the arguement that the Seattle city run courses are below average. That being said within an hour and a half you can get to a dozen great courses. Chambers, home course,2 at golf, trophy lake, wash national, 2 at Newcastle, 2 at suncadia, 3 great ones in Olympia, harbor pointe. Ect. Overall that beats out san diego, Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco and any other west coast market.

 

Now regarding city run course. Torrey pines is 10 times the course of west Seattle.

No chance you get Sahalee conditions for $70-100. Sahalee is one of my favorite courses and one of the best kept courses I've ever played.

We'll probably have to agree to disagree here. Other than Chambers, I would not consider any of those courses great. I really enjoy playing the Home Course and the Olympic course at Gold Mountain. I think the front nine at Harbour Pointe is awful and Newcastle is nicely conditioned, but unremarkable. My point is that you basically exhausted all courses worth playing with in 75 miles of Seattle in a list of 10-12. I haven't played much in the west coast cities you listed, but I think the list of public courses comparable to something like the Home Course or better is larger in Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Phoenix where I have played a lot.

 

There are obviously some nice tracks here, but I think you can find more in other big cities. People are too busy hiking, sailing, and skiing here for golf to really take hold.

Cast me in the 100% agree bucket. To get to any golf worth playing, you need to drive an hour outside of the city. Oki courses are highly overrated- Gold Mountain and Home Course are worth the price of admission, both an hour. Even a city like Portland, not really known for it's golf, has 10 courses worth playing in a 45 minute drive. Seattle has 3? I've always felt public golf in the Seattle area is crap as well. Drive an hour north or an hour south before you even start getting to anything worth playing.

Welcome to the board! Good to hear your input, and will look for more as you get comfortable around here.

 

I'm sure you learned a great deal in the short time that you were at Kayak Point, but what happened there is/was happening all around the country.

 

Drop me a PM, I'd like to discuss this with you.

It's amazing to read of courses closing "after a major clubhouse addition or renovation". There's a reason why clubs with restaurants and bars all charge a monthly minimum, and why restaurants fail at an alarming rate.

 

And I have never gone to a course to eat at a clubhouse restaurant or let the clubhouse building dictate where I play. I’ve played at courses that have trailers hooked up for the purpose... (Snoqualmie falls and Twin River both count.) But far and away I’m going golfing to GOLF, and in most cases when I get off the course the restaurant is long closed anyway. The last time I played Kayak I ate at the Everett Denny’s at 10pm on the way home. I just don’t think many people come to the golf course (esp. public) for that purpose.

Not to tangent too much, but I have to say W. Seattle is the most overrated, underrated course in Seattle, and that's my home course. It's unplayable during the winter, and during the summer you're playing off hardened dirt without being able to hold a fairway, particularly the back 6. Not to mention it's crazy dangerous with 10+ fairways set up squarely in slice territory from other holes with little protection, golfers packed tight as possible, and muni-golf clientele who are slice prone. Only course I've been hit by errant tee-shots multiple times. For my money, Jackson is more interesting with better conditioning of the Seattle munis.

 

But I digress...

 

Overall, I agree, the quality of public courses within an hour of downtown is lacking. In the 1-2 hour range, there are pretty good options between Chambers, Home Course, WA National, Trophy, Salish Cliffs, McCormick Woods, White Horse, Gold Mountain, and Suncadia. The topography of the area limits space that can be utilized for courses and makes getting to them time consuming with mountains and the Sound in the way.

 

Never got out to Kayak, sad I missed it.

I'll miss Kayak and one of the reasons I stopped going there was how far from the freeway it was. It was more of a once in awhile destination course rather some place to play on a regular weekly basis for me. If I lived only 10min away from there, then it would be no issue playing there regularly.

 

I agree that Seattle munis do not compare remotely to the likes of Torrey Pines, Langdon, and Chicago munis. But, I can get away with playing a round at W. Seattle for around $40 compared to South Corse Torrey at around $80.

 

My argument is I have a lowered expectation when playing a Jefferson or Jackson, compared to a Kapalua or Torrey. Also comparing Seattle to top 10 markets? Are we talking NYC, Houston, SF, LA? How far do you have to travel out of NYC Manhattan to get a better course and price value than a Seattle area course under $40 on a Sat morning in the Summer?

 

Even if Kayak upped it's course maintenance, I'm not sure I would make it out there because of it's remoteness. Jackson, Jefferson, Riverbend, Auburn, Willows, Legion, Bellevue, Maplewood are all easily accessible from the freeway. Am I expecting perfect conditions on these courses? No. But I realize I get what I pay for and saving travel time as well.

I think that's the hit. By the end Kayak didn't offer anything that golfers couldn't get with a Seattle muni conditions-wise and a destination course can't sustain that.

Agreed SteveO. W Sea is my home course as well and it’s a love/hate affair. I think the problem is an interesting one and is really holding the course back for several reasons. I think Premier Golf sucks. I think W Sea has for far too long just gotten away with the view on about 3-4 holes and haven’t done anything else to build the quality of the course.

 

Now, if they told me they hired a consultant to come in and survey the land and the conclusion was based on the topography, there is simply nothing that can be done about the drainage problems, then so be it. But you are 100 percent right about the winter playability there; it is dreadful. It is so bad that I almost bet 90 percent of the ppl on Golfwrx would walk off the course if they paid to play there in the winter months. It is some of the most dreadful playing conditions I’ve ever seen, yet I’m always looking for a way to get back out there because it’s about 2 miles from my house.

 

All that said, we should be happy that we have these city courses. Have y’all that lived in the area heard that a consultant/economist was hired to review the profitability of the municipal courses? What I have heard is that due to the housing crisis, it is very possible one course is closed and developed, which would be a disaster for us that live in the city and don’t like to venture out to get a round in.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if they close Jefferson. The course is already a joke after the modifications they made to the back nine and the $$$ it would take to make the course legitimate again. It is a piece of land that is perfect for development, and they could leave the clubhouse and driving range standing as a money maker (as driving ranges often are).

 

Problem is, Jefferson is really the only playable winter course and closing one would mean W Sea and Jackson get slammed during prime season. Traffic is so bad in the area that you can’t drive to the Home Course, Golf Mountain or Avalon and expect it to be a 6 hour excursion. You get stuck in traffic no matter what day it is and by the time you get home your wife is already asking you why you have been gone for over 7 hours.

 

TL;DR - golf in the greater Seattle area sucks. Period.
