Salish Cliffs Golf Club Grand Opening Sept. 16-18

Little Creek Casino Resort announced that the Salish Cliffs Golf Club will open Friday, September 16. Tee time reservations can be made starting September 6 at www.salish-cliffs.com.

The Gene Bates-designed golf course is a new amenity of the award-winning resort, which is owned by the Squaxin Island Tribe.

Fred Couples will help commemorate Salish Cliffs' Grand Opening Weekend (September 16-18), headlining an all-day, pay-to-participate event for the public.

"Salish Cliffs is a special course, one we hope golfers will rate among North America's finest," said Head Professional David Kass, PGA.

The championship golf course is the latest high-quality amenity offered by Little Creek Casino Resort, a destination leader in the region, offering upscale lodging, top entertainment acts, museum-like atriums with priceless, authentic Indian artwork, and much more.

Couples, who won the 1992 Masters and last week's Senior Players Championship, will be stationed on one of the holes, where he will meet and greet all 128 players during a first-come, first-served shotgun event. The cost for participating in the event - which also includes lunch and a clinic given by Couples - is $500 per twosome and $1,000 per foursome.
