North Shore Golf Club
About
North Shore Golf Course in northeastern Tacoma has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1956. It has built its reputation on the quality of the greens and fairways. The classic layout provides enough of a challenge for experienced golfers without being too intimidating for beginners. The layout will test your short-game skills with undulating greens that roll fast and true. Bunkers are also carefully placed around the greens and there are trees lining the narrow fairways. Accuracy is essential for a low score but it will also take some quick and strategic thinking since the setup on each hole presents a different challenge. North Shore is a tough, but fair course for players of all skill levels. There is also an all-grass driving range and practice facility available.

Great test for your short game.
This course is a great test for your short game. Don't be fooled by the distance or the fact that there are 5 par 3's. The setup is demanding- the greens are undulating and fast. You never get a generic setup, it is always tough. I recommend you study this course hole-by-hole and always be below the hole.

Course was in good condition and was challenging, but fair. There are opportunities and risk is rewarded.
Not worth the money
We played yesterday and were more than disappointed by the quality of the course. The fairways had cart paths running through them and cement gullies for drainage in the fairway. The scorecard was a copied one that had limited info on each hole, no map or pictures so you were basically at each tee blind unless you could see the green. The beverage girl was hustling and the best part of the course. The manager became defensive when my husband discussed his concerns. I won't be going back there.
Nice course but a little overpriced..
The course is well kept and has some nice terrain and water hazards. It has a range but it could be marked better and everything looks old. It does have cart paths in some of the fairways. The update to the clubhouse is a great face-lift from the old one, but I guess now we're paying for it.
Excellent greens
Our round took 5 1/2 hours, however, I have played it in less time on previous rounds. The course is in nice condition with challenging greens. Would be nice if there was more grass on the practice facility, what little there was, was very hacked up.
Great Hot Deal
Nice course...usually pricier than I like...but Golf Now hot deal was great !!!!
This is a traditional example of a park style course.
The lay out is more difficult than average, with narrow fairways and lots of elevation changes. It is a bit of a distracting course with Tee boxes and greens often beside each other. Course condition was good. the greens were difficult to read because of the multi-colored grass. It is a good value for those looking to measure the level of their game.
Overall course was in good condition
Course was in good condition. Pace of play was slow. Took 5 hours to play. Did not see a range marshal on the course to help speed things up. Greens were in really good shape. Really enjoyed my round.
Course in summer shape
Course was challenging a lot of shots with the ball above or below your feet if you keep it in the center of the fairway it plays a little easier
great course
great course with lots of elevation changes. Always fun, challenging and a good value. Also good practice areas before the round

Sweeeeet
Under 4 hour round. been many years since I have played here. Much improved.Greens in good shape for having been punched not too long ago. Front 9 was pretty easy but the back is more of a challenge.Will be back with my buddies soon.
Need marshal
We love to vist this golf course.
This time we had a few 5some team with walking and very slow.
And 4 some with beginner player were very slow .
We were 2some with cart and start 1115am finish 420pm.
I believed very slow.
Also behind us were 4 some they did not have paitions start hit and hit me when I was waiting next shot.
This is breaken safety issues.
This course need the marshals .
bad experience
first of all nothing was mentioned on golfnow about the greens being punched and sanded and having to play temp greens. goose p**p everywhere enough said. course is not very well kept for the money charged. carts in need of updating.
Greens in Good Shape
Greens in good shape, you need to stay below the hole, downhill putts were tough to stop the ball.
get a golf now deal
Nice track fast greens tree lined. Some water in play
Decent
Friendly staff. Course was in decent shape for the soggy NW. Extremely slow play front 9, back 9 was a bit better. Greens were in pretty good shape. I got a hot rate which included a cart which made for a great day.
Conditions better than expected
Scheduled last-minute nine on Sunday afternoon and for February conditions were much better than expected, especially the greens. Also bunkers well sanded and raked, and no evidence of carts straying from the paths and plowing up the sod. All grass tees, too.
Would be nice course if dry
Foggy morning. Course was wet and a lot of sloppy spots
