MASTER ROPE RIDER A SUNCADIA GOLF CHALLENGE Inspired by the Golf Channel’s Big Break Series, Master Rope Rider is a skills challenge at the Rope Rider Golf Park. The rope rider worked in the coal mines in Roslyn, Cle Elum, and Ronald, Washington and they did the most dangerous work in the mines - balancing on the hitches between coal cars as they maneuvered through dark tunnels. Once the coal cars were full, the rope rider would return to the surface while maintaining the balancing act on the coal cars. In honor of these hard working individuals and masters of their skills, take your turn at the Master Rope Rider Golf Challenge to prove who is the modern day Rope Rider. Master Rope Rider is the perfect golf experience for smaller group outings or special events.
