Great day for golf

Went to Nile for our second time. Got to start earlier than scheduled and played as a twosome. Course conditions were great! No complaints at all about that. Finished the front 9 in 1 hr 40 min but pace of play gradually slowed over back 9 and we finished in 4 hours.

A great short track with exceptional greens

I love this course and within the city of Seattle, it is a wonderful little oasis just off I-5. The course plays short but long hitters beware! For you cant muscle your way around these fast and firm greens. Way better maintenance than any of the munis within the same city, bar none!

First Time Playing

Great conditions, slowish play

Played here for the first time, walked using push carts. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all excellent. Bunkers with rock hard sand and marked as ground under repair. Interesting layout, hilly in parts. Long walk from 9th green to 10th tee. Slow play in front of us, leading to more and more waiting as the round went on. Will play here again, mostly because the conditions are so nice. Check in staff also very welcoming.

Slow slow slow

Can't believe how slow it was for a wet Tuesday. One of the guys ahead of us had a cane... didn't even offer us to play through. No course staff anywhere to keep it moving.

Wet weather

Golf in all weather

The Nile course is a good round for honing skills. It was a drizzly day, greens good given wet weather. Fairways a bit muddy can't be helped in this climate.

Nile

Great Par 4 course . Leave your driver at home and crush it with your 3 Wood . Quiet and beautiful . Great pace . The most respectful grounds crew I have ever seen in Seattle ! Hole 3has a slightly goofy sharp dog leg left , but other than that a fantastic course , especially for the Value ...... Also a friendly Coyote lives on grounds ! So don't be alarmed ! Enjoy and Cheers !

The Nile in North Seattle

The Nile is always a great place to play on short notice and for the price paid. Well maintained and friendly staff. Great breakfasts in the bar.

Slow going

I've played Nile many times. In my opinion, it is getting way too crowded and slow to recommend. For a short course it should not take almost 5 hours to get in a round.
