Probably my 5th time playing on this very well maintained Tacoma public course. The course does have some back and forth, as well as a lot of undulations in the fairways. Nicely treed, and many side sloping fairways make it a challenge even though it is a bit short overall. Greens were very fast today. I will continue to keep Allenmore in my mix.

A short but fun course with some interesting challenges. While the first three holes lull you into thinking you will shoot in the 60’s, the long par 4 five hole will set you straight. The back 9 is more interesting and fun, starting with a makeable par 5, a par 3 over the river, and #12 requires you to stay left or long and down the middle or a slide fade/slice will put you in the gulley or river to the right. Then you have 3 short par4’s in a row where you can experiment with an alternate club to avoid trees or bunkers. These are fun holes. The 17th hole is a long par 3, which may have you reaching for your driver, and watch out on the 18th, you don’t want to be on the left side. Good course for beginners or people wanting to work on different aspects of their game. Oh, and the greens are mostly flat and well groomed. I had 6 1-putts my last two times out here and I’m a pretty average putter. Enjoy!
