Twin Rivers Golf Course

About This Course: A Family Built 18 on the Snoqualmie River

Twin Rivers Golf Course is a public 18 hole course in Fall City, laid out between the Snoqualmie River and the Raging River, and the reason to make the drive is a round that feels personal. It was designed and built by the Rutledge family, opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1994, and plays 6,074 yards to a par of 70 from the Blue tees, with the 13th running beside the Snoqualmie for its full length.

The course is open to the public with a driving range, a PGA head professional, rental clubs and carts, and Youth on Course rates for juniors. Regular October 2026 green fees run $40 to $62, sales tax included.

Course Overview

The course’s own history tells the story. Richard Rutledge first sketched his ideal golf course in study hall at Issaquah High School in 1952. In 1988, after a golf trip to Scotland with friends who owned courses, he and his wife Pat sold what they owned and, with his brother Tom and sister in law Eleanor, went after a King County permit. The permit process ran close to four years. Richard and Tom then laid pipe, built tees, shaped greens and planted trees themselves, and the course opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1994. The river has tested it since: the Snoqualmie Valley Record reported in March 2009 that a January flood left silt several feet thick in places, that Rutledge spent more than $200,000 on the cleanup, and that men’s club members helped pick rock off the course.

On the card it is a short, varied par 70. There are six par 3s, from 133 to 218 yards, eight par 4s from 281 to 420, and four par 5s from 468 to 583. The front nine plays 2,832 yards to a par of 34, and the back nine is the longer test at 3,242 yards and par 36, with three of the four par 5s. The scorecard map shows the Snoqualmie River bending along the far side of the course and the Raging River near the clubhouse.

Hole by Hole Highlights

Yardages and handicaps are from the Blue tees on the course’s own scorecard. Playing notes come from the course’s hole by hole tour.

• Hole 6, 414 yards, par 4: The first of two strong par 4s. Do not go long, where a hazard waits, and expect a two tiered green.
• Hole 7, 420 yards, par 4: The longest par 4 and the number 1 men’s handicap. It plays into the wind to a green that slopes left to right, so take enough club.
• Hole 8, 281 yards, par 4: Split two large maple trees off the tee. Long hitters can drive the green, which is flat and runs away from you.
• Hole 9, 485 yards, par 5: The tee shot must carry water. Put your second in the left half of the fairway to leave a short pitch.
• Hole 12, 133 yards, par 3: The shortest hole on the card plays to an undulating green that makes two putts hard from anywhere.
• Hole 13, 583 yards, par 5: The longest hole runs beside the Snoqualmie River for its entire length. Favor the left side and avoid the tree 100 yards short of the green.
• Hole 17, 218 yards, par 3: The longest par 3 plays to a green with a couple of different levels. A par here is a good score.
• Hole 18, 468 yards, par 5: A short par 5 to finish. A drive to the right center of the fairway gives you a chance to get home in two.

Our Snoqualmie guide covers the rest of the valley, and a day at Snoqualmie Falls pairs well with a morning tee time. For a second round, Willows Run Golf Complex in Redmond has two more 18s.

How to Score Here

• Bank strokes on the front nine. It is 410 yards shorter than the back and has only one par 5.
• Treat hole 8 as a birdie chance, but only take driver if you can split the two maples.
• Club up on the long par 3s, especially the 218 yard 17th, where the green has a couple of levels.
• Play hole 13 to the left and take three shots to reach it. It is the longest hole and runs along the river.
