Detailed description of West Seattle Golf Course

West Seattle Golf Course, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Seattle, Washington.

West Seattle Golf Course first opened for play in 1939. West Seattle GC was designed by famed Architect and accomplished player, H. Chandler Egan. You may recognize his work in Spokane at Indian Canyon, in Portland at East Moreland, or most notably in the redesign of Pebble Beach. He is given credit for Pebble Beach as we know it today - a national golf treasure

West Seattle Golf Course has a classic course 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.

Are you kidding me? They call this a golf course?!?! It's a goat pasture with holes! What a rip off!!! I'd rather stick red hot branding irons in my eyes than play this glorified piece of refuse!

For the time of year (early March)and the amount this course gets played, it's in great shape. I admit that I play here often, so I'm a little bias. But it really is a great public course and offers some of the best views of Seattle available. On a clear summer day, it would seem you could almost reach out and touch Mt. Rainier from the 19th Hole. It's worth a visit. NO WAIT. Stay away, it's a terrible course!

Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
