to reach in one shot.

Description: This short 18-holer on Bothell Way is the definition of basic golf, but it’s a great course for kids, seniors, beginners, those learning the game and anyone who is looking for a more relaxed environment to take some hacks.

Measuring just 4,326 yards from the back tees and a par 66, Wayne is very popular for family golf outings, but has some holes that will challenge any level golfer. The Sammamish Slough winds through the course and comes into play on a number of holes. Except for a few holes on the front nine, the course is very flat and walkable.
