Blue Boy West Golf Course
About
Blue Boy West Golf Course in Monroe, Washington is a nine-hole course that is great practice for beginners but still challenging enough for more experienced players who are looking for a quick round. The tough but fair layout will test you with water on seven holes and several strategically placed bunkers throughout. You'll also come across a few tricky doglegs. This is a great layout for getting some practice with your irons, but your driver won't be getting much play. It's a true shot-maker's course with a variety of holes featuring uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. Accuracy is the key to a low score. Blue Boy West Golf Course puts you to the test right away with a par 4 that has trees to the left and water to the right.

Target Golf At Its Best
I was looking for a course that is closer to home (I live in Monroe) that I could practice dialing in my 150 and in game. Not only does Blue Boy fit this need to a T, but it also has some killer early morning rates via Golf Now. For $10, plus the usual fees, I was able to get an all you can play pass for the day. The 9 hole course is challenging since the greens are pretty small, but don't expect too much trouble on this one. There is water on 6 holes, but most of it really doesn't come into play. Keep the woods in the bag and enjoy a round of target golf with your irons.
My advice is to get here about 45 minutes early and putt for about 10-15 minutes, then chip a bit. After that, Get loose in the swing cages before you hit the tee box. Unless you are one of those people that are ready to take that first hack on the first tee with perfect results, you'll want to loosen up just a touch.
From there, stick to the fairways, and if you enjoy playing in the sand at all, bring an old wedge. The "bunkers" are loaded with playground sand and there are plenty of rocks just waiting to take a chunk of your new $150 wedges. That said, the fairways and rough were surprisingly rock free - which I will give the crew at Blue Boy credit for! The course played pretty great for how wet it's been and how damp/cold it was this morning.
Overall, definitely staying on my playing rotation!
good place for practice
Blue boy golf course is somewhat far from Seattle but it has good holes for beginner's practice.
Great course for wet conditions
Checked other courses around the area and modt said pretty muddy with either temporary tees or greens.
Blue Boy West had temporary tees but the greens were in pretty good shape. Spots of water and mud around the course but it turned out to be a great round. It wasn't crowded as I think most golfers stayed away because of the recent weather. All in all it was a great day and the course was in pretty good shape for the recent conditions. The people here are trying really hard to run a great Golf Course with what they have to work with. I am really glad we went.
Confused!
Made a tee time for 8am on a Saturday. When we got there they had a tournament scheduled for all day. Couldn't find anyone to help us, and when we did find a lady to help she was extremely rude.
Doesn't seem like the course is linked to GolfNow, or at least the staff has no idea what is going on.
Not a bad little course
Course was muddy in places, especially along the right side of the fairway on hole 1, but that is expected this time of year. Greens were in good shape, just a little slower than I am used to. There were no par 5's, but a few challenging par 4's. Not a long course, but some pretty fun holes. I did not care for the bush in the middle of the green on number 2.
fun little course
Been meaning to get out to this course for awhile and glad I did. Very walkable, well maintained, and great staff. Greens had just been aerated so was unable to rate greens. Good value through Golf Now. Will definitely be making a return visit.
Hole#1 is a brute !
Fun golf course, hole #1 is really tough with water right and trees left. Expect some funny bounces on this hole. Par is a great score. Hole #2 is a par 3 with a planter in the middle of it, but features a free drop if your ball goes there. After the first two holes the golf course becomes straight forward. Never needed to hit driver. Tee off with hybrids and maybe a 3 wood to keep it in play. This is a shot makers course.
Hidden Jewel
First visit to Blue Boy West. Found the course delightful. Well maintained, surprisingly challenging. Six 300 yard (give or take) holes made this course fun to play. Course is very nicely landscaped with small ponds, water features, and both greens and fairways in good shape. This is a great choice for golfers of all abilities. The kind of course that deserves support.
Great value
First time out on this course, and we will be back. Course is very short, and is a nine hole. Purchased deal on golfnow for $10 per player for unlimited golf, though we only played 18. Only took about 2 and 1/2 hrs to play, lots of fun!
Summer showers, empty course
With only 4 cars in the lot we knew it would be a private course for us. Not a Private club as Blue Boy West is built on a horse ranch, with many of the barns and stables still in use for golf. The value was excellent and the staff are like family. Many tricky holes with water and doglegs which keep the driver in the bag.
Not Your Typical Layout
Kinda hilly, kinda funky, but still a lot of fun. Just don't take your round too seriously. The greens don't roll true so expect your putts to "wobble" around as they head toward the hole - some taking completely unexpected (and unexplainable) turns. Also, I tried two different power carts and neither seemed to have much in the way of brakes, but at least I really built up my leg muscles trying to stop the cart on some of the steep hills. The starter said all of the carts were that way - just the way they were designed. I don't actually buy that explanation.
Good deal
Had a great day of sun and 9 holes at Blue Boy. The deal from Golf Now was $10 for all you can play, good value. Mower was ahead or behind us almost the entire time we played which was a bit annoying. Waited on almost every hole it was stacked up, still had fun!
36 Hole birdie tourney
This has been a home course for me and my friends. If you ever need to hit the driving range, you should book a tee time here and practice on a real course.
Great value and a fun course
Blue Boy may not be the longest course but it has some challenging holes and is great for working on iron play! The greens can be slow but are always in good shape, and the staff are all very friendly. A real bargain using GolfNow when you can play all day!
One of the best values in the seattle area
Took my wife here for a quick weekend round. I had fairly low expectations, but i was fairly impressed by the course. Overall a great value for the money. My wife appreciated the shorter length and relatively easy walk, as well as the scenic landscaping, while I as the more experienced experienced golfer in the group appreciated the variety, and character of the golf course that you don't often see in courses of this caliber. Course seemed to be extremely dry and greens although a little slow were actually rolling pretty well. Overall a great practice course with decent course conditions that provides entertainment for golfers of all skill levels. I will definitely be back.
Great course for the price
Golfnow gave us a great deal to come play 18 holes on this 9 hole course. Its a great course for working on your short game, though its does offer a few holes to work on your long game. I have golfed here many times before and will be back again for sure.
Blue Boy is a great time!
Blue Boy is a fun course. It is short, but is well maintained and greens are great.
Short on distance but good to work on the short game. Small and challenging greens.
Definitely worth the money when you book on GolfNow! This course is usually easy to get on.
Fun and interesting holes.
A nice upgrade from playing executive par 3 courses for my son and nephew. Allows you to be as aggressive as you want, yet will penalize you for not hitting it in the fairway. Staff was awesome and the cafe has fantastic food!
