BELLEVUE – Oki Golf, which already owns and operates five top golf courses in Western Washington, on Friday announced that it has added two more venues to its portfolio.
Joining the Oki Golf lineup are Washington National Golf Club in Auburn and Trophy Lake Golf and Casting Club in Port Orchard. Both were purchased from the Heritage Golf Group.
Washington National and Trophy Lake, both designed by noted golf course architect John Fought, will join Oki Golf’s previous holdings The Golf Club at Echo Falls outside Snohomish, The Golf Club at Newcastle (36 holes), The Golf Club Hawks Prairie in Lacey (36 holes), Olympia’s Indian Summer Golf and Country Club, and The Plateau Club in Sammamish. All are public courses except Indian Summer G&CC and The Plateau Club.
“Acquiring Washington National and Trophy Lake is a tremendous step for Oki Golf,” said Scott Oki, the former Microsoft executive and the founder, chairman and CEO of Oki Golf.
“Since purchasing our first course in 1994, we’ve been committed to creating an incomparable golf experience for our guests. By having Washington National and Trophy Lake in the portfolio, we’ll be able to further enhance an ‘Oki Golf Experience’ based on ‘best of class’ facilities, inspired customer service and exceptional value.”
Washington National, which calls itself the “Home of the Huskies,” was designed in the traditional style favored by the United States Golf Association for major championships. In fact, Washington National hosted the 2003 NCAA Women’s Championship and the NCAA Men’s Regional tournament. Measuring 7,300 from the championship tees, it is the home course for the University of Washington men’s and women’s teams.
Trophy Lake, meanwhile, combines an elegant golf course with two on-course lakes stocked with Canadian Rainbow trout, providing guests with the opportunity to get in 18 holes of golf along with some fly fishing. The 7,206-yard course from the back tees offers outstanding views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier along with a fine golf experience.
