The Sahalee Country Club is a country club and golf course located in Sammamish, Washington, just outside of Seattle, USA. Sahalee is member-owned. In the Chinookan language Sahalee means “high heavenly ground”. The course hosted the 1998 PGA Championship, won by Vijay Singh of Fiji and the 2002 WGC-NEC Invitational, won by Craig Parry of Australia. The course architect is Ted Robinson. In preparation for the PGA Championship, Rees Jones redesigned the course in 1996, 1997, and 1998. The course has been listed on Golf Digest’s Top 100 Courses list for over twenty years. The course is the host of the Northwest Amateur Tournament.
The course is made up of three sets of nine holes, the South nine, the North nine, and the East nine. PGA tournaments have been held on the combination of the South and North nines. The course is like many in the Pacific Northwest, tall evergreen, douglas-fir, and redcedar trees lining the narrow fairways. The course has many bunkers and several water hazards.
