If you’re looking to hit the links in Seattle, you’re in luck! The area boasts some fantastic golf courses that cater to all skill levels. Here’s a rundown of some must-plays:
1. Chambers Bay
Located just south of the city, Chambers Bay is renowned for its stunning views and challenging layout. It’s a public course that even hosted the U.S. Open in 2015!
2. Jackson Park Golf Course
A great spot for beginners and casual players, Jackson Park offers a relaxing atmosphere and beautiful scenery. It’s affordable and has a nice variety of holes.
3. West Seattle GC
This course features well-maintained greens and fairways and provides a great view of the Seattle skyline. It’s perfect for a leisurely day out.
4. Seattle Golf Club
For those seeking an exclusive experience, Seattle Golf Club is a private course that often gets mentioned among the best. While you’ll need a member to invite you, the experience is worth it!
5. Trophy Lake Golf & Casting
A bit outside Seattle, but if you have the time, it’s a beautiful destination with an amazing layout and the added bonus of fishing!
Have you played at any of these courses? What are your favorites? Or do you have any hidden gems to recommend? Let’s share our experiences and help each other find the best spots to tee off in the Seattle area!
One of the best public courses in Seattle has to be Jefferson Park Golf Course. The views are stunning, and it’s really well-maintained for a public course. Plus, the pricing is reasonable for the experience you get!
For a truly unique experience, don’t miss the Englewood Golf Course. It’s a bit quirky with its layout, but it’s a lot of fun! Plus, you can often snag discounts during the weekdays.
Absolutely agree! Jefferson Park has such beautiful backdrops. Another great option is West Seattle Golf Course; it offers challenging holes and great conditions.
I think you all are missing out on Crosstown Golf Course! The hidden gem of Seattle golf. It’s inexpensive and feels much more spacious than other public ones!
I appreciate the recommendations! However, I think it’s worth noting that some of these courses can get crowded on weekends. A little humor: if you don’t like slow play, you’re better off going on a weekday!
If you’re looking for private golf clubs in Seattle, I’d highly recommend Washington Athletic Club. The amenities are top-notch, and the courses are always in great shape. Membership can be pricey, but the benefits are worth it!
Seattle Golf Club is great, but it’s hard to beat the ambiance at Broadmoor Golf Club. The views are stunning and the social events are always a blast. It’s a great place to network too!
I couldn’t agree more! I also found the membership costs at Broadmoor to be reasonable for what you get. Anyone else have experiences with private clubs?
Definitely, scantu! I’ve been a member of Lakewood Country Club for a couple of years now. The course is challenging, and the community is very welcoming. Plus, they have a fantastic pro shop!
What’s the initiation fee like at Lakewood? I’m considering joining a private club but want to ensure I make the right choice. Anyone can provide insights?
The initiation fee at Lakewood is around $20,000, plus yearly dues. Pretty steep but the experience is unbeatable! They have great family events too, which is a nice touch.
Wow, $20,000? That’s a hefty price tag! But if it means you get premium courses and networking opportunities, it could be worth it. Any humorous stories from your time on the course?
One time I hit a ball straight into the duck pond at Broadmoor! The ducks seemed offended, and I spent ages trying to convince them to leave my ball alone. A memorable round, for sure!
