Slope 126
Rating 74.4

Located just 45 minutes southwest of Tacoma, Tahoma Valley Golf Course has garnered a reputation for being the driest course in the Puget Sound. The course boasts well manicured greens that putt fast and true. The greens showcase the best of the Northwest's undulating, bump-and-run golf. Its location provides every hole with a stunning view of Mount Rainier. Just shy of 6,000 yards from the back tees, it's not an especially long layout but it is narrow enough to present a challenge. The wide fairways are forgiving, making it player friendly enough for beginners, and there are enough challenges to please high handicappers as well. With an abundance of mature trees throughout, Tahoma Valley Golf Course demands accuracy. The par 3s are particularly memorable for both their views and level of difficulty.

Very pleasant

Good course, greens were very sandy, some “ burn” spots around some the greens. Given the heat this year, it was good

Great Family Atmosphere

We love playing this course, our only issue is they have no marshal. There was a fivesome in front of us and one behind us. It took almost five hours to play and would have been worse but we skipped a hole and went ahead of the fivesome. The poor guy in the pro shop was all alone doing his best to keep people moving off the first tee, while also checking people in, staging carts and answering the phone. He was great considering how busy it was and definitely could have used some help. I like this course and we will play again. Hopefully they can find more help.

Good course for beginners

I took my wife and two sons for family outing.
I paid $16/ person not too bad for a hot deal.
The weather was raining on and off throughout the day. Certain tee boxes wasn’t well drained. The greens was not too bad. Great value for the green fees.

Great Value

This course was in great shape! It was an intermittently wet day but I was one of just a handful of people on the course. Most of the holes are pretty straight forward until you get to the back nine. The greens rolled very well and we’re mostly flat. Overall not too challenging but pretty fun. The value for what you pay is incredible. The price of an executive course for a full 18.
