Allenmore Golf Course is located in the heart of Tacoma but thanks to the beautiful setting with Mt. Rainier serving as a backdrop, it feels like it's actually miles from the city. The layout is just over 6,000 yards from the back tees and though it's not particularly long, it offers plenty of variety. It's a course where you'll have to use every club in your bag. Trouble lurks at almost every turn in the form of doglegs, trees, or out-of-bounds. Water hazards also come into play. With uphill, sidehill, and downhill lies, the course is never boring and while there are some challenging holes, there are also birdie opportunities if you play strategically. In addition to the golf course, Allenmore also has a short-iron driving range and a practice facility with chipping and putting greens.

Beautiful Course

First time playing here and I enjoyed it immensely. Very well laid out, nice long fairways, enormous, wavy greens. Plenty challenging, but not extremely difficult. Fine for competent players. 3 par 5's on the front and the back so fun for the long game. Traffic noise from I 5 were noticeable, but not disturbing. The views of Mt. Rainier on many of the holes were fantastic. I will definitely look forward to playing here again!

How the Pro-Shop Staff helps with the score.

Frank at the Pro-Shop really sets a happy mood for the games with his friendliness and professional service. Tips for the game and best cigars goes a long ways with having a great game. The carts are always ready, The tee shuffle are well done always willing to accommodate 'slackers' when our 4some running behind. For a beginner don't know how-to evaluate the course. The swing is challenging enough so having a great golf environment just makes for good times.

I liked the greens. They were quick and challenging. Have to be aware of up and down slopes when putting.

Great Day on the course

Great time had by all. I'd highly recommend this course to everyone. Course was in good condition greens were a little dry.

However, all in all our 3-some really enjoyed playing and we will be back. Staff was courteous, professional and helpful.

Great day

Had a great day with my best friend. It was misting a bit for the first 8 or 9 holes but then it cleared up and we had great weather. The course was in pretty good shape with the exception of a few soft areas so we were "cart path only" and still winter rules. The greens however were perfect. All in all a terrific day! (beats being at work)

Allenmore 4/23/17

Teed off about five minutes early and finished in four hours - pretty good for a Sunday and having to go cart path only. Course was in decent shape considering how wet it's been all winter and spring. A few spots were kind of mushy, especially on the back none, but that is to be expected. Hadn't played here for quite a few years and the new clubhouse and restaurant were a pleasant surprise. Had lunch after the round and the food was terrific

Wet and slow - but still fun!

Greens were in good shape.

Stuck behind a slow threesome all round - course marshall shadowed them a bit, but didn't actually say anything until the 15th hole. (Two holes behind pace)

Course was still very wet from all the rain this month, lots of standing water.

Carts on path only, as to be expected for the conditions. The walk through the rough to the fairway was often swampy.

Was good to get out and play, still enjoyed the round despite less than ideal conditions.

Hi Connor, thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that our greens were in good shape. We do however regret to hear that the overall conditions were not up to par. This is definitely not the standard we are trying to set for our golfers. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again when things dry out.

Great Value

Allenmore is a great middle of the road course when it comes to difficulty. Fairways are smooth and greens are in great condition. Depending on your competitiveness, the tees you play definitely make a difference. The Urban Elk restaurant up above the pro shop has great food and is a really nice place to relax or eat after a round. I will definitely recommend this course to friends and family.

Course is going to be awesome this summer

The greens were in excellent shape for this time of year. Fairways were muddy and wet in some locations on every hole but hey what do you expect for with all the rain and snow we have been experiencing here in the NW. The 3 of us pretty much had the course to our self's, guess were the only "golfers" that wanted to drudge the rain and wind.
