I played Selah Ranch on Friday, Feb 5, 2016
Selah has been on my wish list for a while now. I went 400 miles out of the way to play it. It was well worth the drive, the dollars, and it met and maybe even exceeded my high expectations. The course was in great shape, but was pretty much deserted, we had the place to ourselves. For this trip we only had an afternoon, but even with the low February sun we were still easily able to play both courses. The carts are well worth the money. As other have suggested, it's worth it to pay for enough carts so no one is walking. It's a long way from the clubhouse to tee #1 Lakeside. Both my son and I are "average" rec players, these courses were a blast from the Red Tees (full reviews to come) and was still plenty challenging. I'm sure you big arms will appreciate the back tees.
Just some logistics: this course is in a very rural area, plan gasoline and food carefully. While my son and I played my wife went "into town" in Talco to grab some sandwiches. The gas station was the only option. While not horrible, it was still gas station food.
I've played some wonderful courses in the past two years (Nantucket, Frost Valley, Maple Hill, Black Falls) and I can't say which is the "best" course, but I will say that Selah Ranch is the most unique experience.
I hope to return soon when I have more time to soak in the full Selah Ranch experience and also head down the road to Trey Texas Ranch.
