Gallery Golf Course Overview

Gallery plays like classic Northwest parkland. Most drives thread tall trees before opening to greens guarded by sand and the occasional pond or creek. From the back tees the card stretches to 6,351 yards at par 72. That number asks for placement more than power. From forward tees the walk is friendly yet the small targets still demand touch. Conditioning is a point of pride, and the setting elevates the round with views over the water on several holes. If you like a course that rewards hitting fairway and finding the center of greens, this is a good fit.
