About this course

Eagle's Talon is one of two eighteen-hole courses at Willows Run Golf Club in Redmond, Washington, designed by Ted Locke and opened in the mid-1990s. The facility sits in the Seattle metropolitan area, occupying former agricultural land in the Sammamish River valley. Locke, a Pacific Northwest architect active during the region's golf development boom of that era, routed both courses across relatively flat terrain characteristic of the valley floor, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering to define the playing corridors. The course plays through a parkland setting with mature trees framing many holes and water coming into play on several. The layout emphasizes accuracy over distance on many approach shots, with greens protected by bunkers and water hazards that require thoughtful club selection. The flat topography means most holes offer clear sightlines from tee to green, though strategic positioning becomes important as players navigate toward well-defended putting surfaces. Willows Run serves primarily as a public facility, drawing golfers from the greater Seattle area who appreciate accessible daily-fee golf within the urban corridor. The club operates both Eagle's Talon and its companion course, Coyote Creek, providing options for different skill levels and preferences. The courses benefit from their proximity to Redmond's technology employment centers, making them convenient venues for recreational and corporate outings throughout the year.

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 ninety minutes west by car through the mountain passes. The drive itself traces a compelling geography - departing the Puget Sound lowlands, the route climbs steadily through dense evergreen forest before breaking into the open, sagebrush-studded terrain that defines central Washington's golf country. Private aviation options exist at nearby Bend Municipal Airport (RDM) in Oregon, though the club's own facilities and regional airstrips offer convenient alternatives for those traveling by charter. The final miles unfold across high-elevation plateau landscape, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as an oasis of emerald against the austere beauty of the surrounding high desert - a striking visual prelude that announces your arrival at Willows Run Golf Club.
