Since the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe purchased the golf course two years ago for about $3 million, it has embarked on a makeover of the entire property, from the fairways and greens to the Double Eagle Steak & Seafood restaurant.
Latest renovation
The latest face lift turns the course's old lounge into a 65-seat gathering spot with a deck and a view that's "by far the most beautiful of any bar and grill in town," said Bill Shea, general manager of Cedars at Dungeness.
In summer, guests will be invited to sit outside on the deck. Right now, they stay in and gaze out toward the golf course through tall windows.
Those who want to try out the Cedars' golf carts, which are equipped with global positioning systems and phones for ordering lunch, can join the cart-caravan tour of the course starting at 5 p.m. sharp, Shea said.
"We have 60 carts, so 75 or 100 people can go out," he added.
A putting contest will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., with free appetizers and cake provided to keep putters' energy up.
Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Bellevue bagpiper Neil Hubbard will offer serenades.
And at sundown around 6 p.m., he'll stroll out to the 18th fairway and off into the twilight.
Jerry Allen, CEO of the Jamestown tribe's 7 Cedars Casino in Blyn, chose the Stymie's name in a nod to a traditional golf term.
A stymie, he said, is when a fellow player's golf ball is between your golf ball and the hole. You are stymied, as in thwarted.
You may as well go in and have something to eat or drink.
Allen said the Jamestown tribe invested about $100,000 in renovating the bar and grill -- and that other improvements to the Cedars at Dungeness are on the horizon.
Remodeled restrooms, an enlarged snack shack out on the course and a redesigned driving range are coming this year, Shea added.
Throughout this evening's party, Shea and his 10-member Stymie's staff will give away door prizes including sunglasses, golf bags and rounds of golf at the Cedars.
