Coyote Creek Course
Willows Run Golf Club
About this course
Coyote Creek is one of two eighteen-hole courses at Willows Run Golf Club in Redmond, Washington, designed by Ted Locke. The facility sits in the Seattle metropolitan area, where the terrain transitions from Puget Sound lowlands toward the Cascade foothills. Locke, a Pacific Northwest architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century, worked extensively in the region and designed courses that typically respond to the area's natural topography and vegetation. The course occupies relatively flat to gently rolling ground characteristic of the region's glacial outwash plains. Players encounter tree-lined fairways with Douglas fir, cedar, and alder defining corridors and framing holes. Water features appear throughout the routing, reflecting the wetland character common to western Washington courses. The layout emphasizes accuracy and course management rather than extreme length, with strategic bunkering and water hazards requiring thoughtful club selection. Willows Run serves a public clientele and sees steady play from both local residents and visitors to the greater Seattle area. The facility's two courses allow the club to accommodate high volumes of rounds while maintaining reasonable pace of play. Coyote Creek, like its companion course, provides accessible golf in a setting shaped by the Northwest's signature landscape of evergreen forests and water. The course remains a fixture in Redmond's recreational offerings, serving golfers who seek a straightforward test without the premium pricing of private or resort facilities in the region.

Getting there
Willows Run Golf Club sits in the high desert plateau east of the Cascade Range, most easily reached via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), roughly two hours west by car through the mountain passes, or via Spokane International (GEG), a similar distance to the northeast. The drive from Seattle carries you from Puget Sound's maritime mist into drier terrain, crossing the Snoqualmie Pass before descending into the sagebrush country surrounding Redmond - a landscape that shifts from temperate forest to open sky with almost cinematic clarity. For those with private aviation, Bend Redmond Airport (RDM) lies just minutes from the club, offering a direct alternative to the commercial hubs. The final miles unfold across high-desert roads where the Cascade peaks recede in your mirror and the club emerges into a terrain of volcanic rock and native grasses, a world apart from the Pacific Northwest's reputation for rain.
