In Volume 3 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“Just ninety minutes up the interstate and across to the dry side of the Cascades, SunCadia is a beautiful facility for residents of Seattle, but the golf course is not going to attract visitors from afar. For some reason there were restrictions on installing any underground drainage on this course, so all of the contouring consists of mounding that tails down into the fairways and sends golf balls careening to the low side of the holes.“

The Prospector Course at SunCadia Resort received a score of 4 out of 10 from Tom Doak.
