Be careful

Front 9 hole layout is horrible. You can hit parked cards easily and there's sign that says players are responsible. How can you enjoy playing golf like that? They should put up some kind of fence.

Fun and Challenging Course

The Nile is a really fun course. You have to bring all of your shots including a deft putting touch, as the greens can be quite fast - many of them have a significant amount of slope that can make some putts quite challenging..The course is well taken care of, and is in great shape. The pro shop folks are always friendly and professional. I never get tired of playing the Nile. It has a great vibe, and a lot of variety.

I always search for the best deal, but I keep coming back to Nile Shrine. It's a well maintained course with an interesting layout.

Course conditions are deteriorating - 2023

The Nile Leadership is allowing the course to deteriorate with each passing season. The cart paths are worn and in serious disrepair - everywhere. The brush is overgrown on certain holes (17). Several holes are mud holes year round (3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 16 and 17). The condition of some fairways is like playing on cement mainly on the back 9.

Great Value, Friendly

The day turned out to be a perfect weather day. Fairways were in great shape, almost all greens and the sand was actually sand and not mud, like most
Seattle courses. Pro shop was very nice . We had lunch and the food was a great deal and Kitchen manager was awesome. Sorry, I did not get her name but she delivered food and answered questions about the "secret" spice used for the crispy fries. I'll be back just for the food, burger was perfect, made to order and quick!!!

very good for this time of year

Been a while since we played the nile. Very surprised at how green and actually over wet in a few spots due to watering. Greens must not have been sanded too long ago, but they were in great shape for this time of year.
