Message From West Seattle Golf Course

  • 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 Home of the Seattle Amateur Championship

User Reviews of West Seattle Golf Course

Yelp.com Review - by Spike M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I consider West Seattle to be the best of city-owned municipal courses within a 30-mile range. Continual improvements, great greens and a layout with some very challenging holes make this the best...

Yelp.com Review - by John L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Good course for being right in the middle of a city. Impressive. Every time I've played my round has been cut short due to the onset of darkness, so I can't review the last 3-4 holes. But I've always...

Yelp.com Review - by Joe S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'll always consider West Seattle to be my home course. They keep it in great shape for a public course... I usually play here 6 times a year. I'd play it more often if I didn't live in Issaquah......

Yelp.com Review - by do n.

4.0 of 5 stars. I am a true West Seattle Golf fan. I love this short Golf course. It is short yet challenging. Great view of the City and some of the holes are pretty tricky. I love this place.

Yelp.com Review - by Wayne H.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've played this course for 35 years. It's not US Open quality, but great value for what you pay, great scenery, and it's a challenge. Kind of boring (and Hilly) after 14, but overall it's a lot of...

Yelp.com Review - by mike b.

4.0 of 5 stars. Great Muni course with views of the Seattle skyline from mostly tight greens nestled between thick trees and foliage. I'm still pretty much a beginner, lucky to shoot 100, and this place kicked my...

Not for Hackers

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...

Great City Course by Rob S. at InsiderPages

West Seattle is the best public golf course in Seattle by a landslide. Some of the holes on the back nine rival those on private courses. Sometimes a bit crowded.

This was the first full "official" course I ever played, or rather it played me...The back nine was sheer torture but i managed to get through it without embarrasing myself or my partner. The 19th hole was by...
