West Seattle Golf Course

A Premier Golf Course. Urban golf at it's best.

  • Public golf course
  • 18-hole Championship - Par 72
  • Built in 1940

A classic layout that offers challenges to the best players, while at the same time offering a venue for all to play! The front nine meanders alongside Longfellow Creek. It has relatively flat terrain and plays to a par of 37. The back nine plays much more difficult to par(35) than the front despite being almost 300 yards shorter. You will experience countless uneven lies as the back nine is very hilly and it is the most affected part of the course when the afternoon winds pick up. It boasts the most incredible views from several holes of downtown Seattle and Elliot Bay. Come and experience a bit of Seattle's golf history at West Seattle Golf Course.

"West Seattle's back side is probably one of the most beautiful nines you'll see anywhere." - Rich Beem, Winner of the 2002 PGA Championship

Editorial Review for West Seattle Golf Course – by Kathryn Babson

The Course
H. Chandler Egan (most famous for his redesign of Pebble Beach) designed this course in 1928. The par-72 course measures 6,653 yards from the blue tees, 6,221 from the whites and 5,685 from the reds. It's full of hilly fairways and small greens.

The Experience
On the front side, those who can drive it long and straight will have an advantage, particularly on the monstrous 564-yard, par-5 ninth hole. The back side features a number of par-4 holes, including the last four--a rolling trek that will test golfers' stamina as they head for the clubhouse.

Vital Stats
Number of holes: 18
Yardage: 6,623
Par: 72
Driving range: no
Pro shop: yes
Cart rental: yes

The first tee is a Par 5. Imagine that challenge; especially in light of the fact they don't have a driving range. There are two practice putting greens, and you are allowed to even chip. This course is well maintained, wide fairways, fast greens (and small on some holes), and hilly on the back 9. The pro shop needs a make-over in the worst way; and the staff needs to be friendlier. Also, this golf course has many car break-ins, so don't leave your valuables behind.

Pros: Challenging, Long course

Cons: Pro Shop; Customer Service; Bathrooms, Lounge
