Allenmore Golf Course
About
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.

fun
fairly easy course and fun to play.
City golf
Allenmore is a classic 1960s layout with tight fairways and small greens. A very fair and challenging course with excellent green conditions.
Pleasant golf course
The course was very wet and the carts were required to stay on the cart paths. This was a little harder on my play because I have walking restrictions. But that is life in the northwest.
Old school layout
Traditional 1960s layout with fantastic greens that roll true and smooth. A few fairways get a little wet this time of year but the overall golf experience is excellent. Great new carts, paved cart paths challenging part 3s always a very fun round. Our foursome of mid handicap golfers played our round in 3 hours and 23 minutes that's a great pace of play.
Fog on a cool morning.
Fog first 5 holes than the sun came out. Had to track down the balls and avoid the chemicals they sprayed on the fairways. Overall it was a lot of fun and the course was in good shape. The fees were very reasonable. Already made a tee time for next Monday.
Such a Deal!
All the planets were in perfect alignment and the Golf Gods were appeased. A three and a half hour round with no waiting and not a soul behind our group! Doesn't get much better than this. My drives were long and true. The only thing that could have improved was my chipping and putting.... : (
uPIEX6288PI,

Great day to hit the links
The track was in great shape. The weather was nice. The groups were playing at a good pace . No waiting it was fun. Overall the day out on the course couldn't have got any better!
plaroya,
Thank you for the wonderful 4-Star review! We are glad you had a good round, and we look forward to your next round soon!

Allenmore Golf Management
Fun track but bad timing
Usually a good course but caught it about 10 days after the Greens were punched. Wish GolfNow would have warned me. Staff are friendly and the course is fun and challenging.
pantolin,
We appreciate your feedback. We are happy you had a fun round, while still enjoying the challenge the course has to offer. Usually, you will find aerification notifications in the Tee Time Notes of a GolfNow booking. We hope to see you again soon as the greens recover wonderfully!
Best regards,
Allenmore Golf Management
Fun, Challenging
Owned by Elks. Had fun day. Decent condition. Friendly Staff. Would have had a lunch at Elk's restaurant but $10 to $15 for a Hamburger? They must be out of this world! Everything was quite pricey. My home lodge has food, very good food, but not near these prices.

Another fine day at Allenmore GC
I wish there was a warning that the greens were punched, other than that another fine day at the course.
pspain,
Thank you for the 4-Star review! We apologize for the confusion--if you book online there are usually course notices in the Tee Time Notes section that will let you know of aerification in advance.
Best regards,
Allenmore Golf Management
A gem in Tacoma
This course gets better every year. They are always adding to it. They just leveled out the putting green and added a short game area. I didn't know the greens were punched but they still rolled pretty good. The fairways were in great shape and they now got a new restaurant. I would definitely go back.
Chino08,
Thank you for the 5-Star review! We're glad you noticed all the great improvements! We look forward to your next visit soon--be sure to visit the restaurant too!

Venerable Course, In Good Condition
I often have my best scores at Allenmore, due to the non-punative layout and broad fairways. Greens roll true, and it's pretty easy to find shots that travel to the left or right.
On the day that I played as a single, I was added to a threesome of very nice dudes whose skill level was similar to my own. When we encountered two groups ahead of ours who were playing at the speed of a glacier, we cut over to #9 and had a wide-open course. The on-course marshal didn't give us any grief, since we didn't mess up the flow with our maneuver, which was awesome.
The only downside to playing this course is the restriction on hitting woods/driver on the practice range. But it's not so much of a deterrent that I avoid playing here!
Pro shop staff are very friendly and professional. Prices for snack bar food are reasonable, and service was fast/efficient/friendly.

Great Place To Play
I would recommend Allan more to anyone who would like a well groomed course with good staff, food and drinks.
Thanks so much for the great review, Darren! Hope to see you again soon!
friendly staffs
I was surprised when I told the proshops staff that I've got 3 tee times for 12 players and if it's possible to let us play continually(it was 23 and 22 minutes apart from each tee time),the staff name Frank checked the computer and said yes and even escorted us to the first tee to make sure there's no cconfusion on the deck.
We then have enjoyed the rest of the day and thought we would have come to this venue again for sure.
Thank you for your review and 5 Stars! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your day on our course. Please come back and play again soon!
Great Day
I always enjoy Allenmore...The staff is always friendly and the course is fun and overall in very good shape...This time the restaurant was open and we enjoyed a great lunch at the Urban Elks, which also provided friendly and prompt service... And the bloody Mary's were some of the best I've ever had...If your looking for a great day of golf I highly recommend Allenmore to everyone...you won't be disappointed...
Thank you for your kind review! We are thrilled to hear you have had such an excellent day on our course and hope to see you again soon!
Poorly paced. Grumpy staff
The course itself is great. The front desk guy needed an attitude adjustment. Maybe it was a bad moment, but his customers service was horrible.
If you're going to have a golf Marshall, have him enforce the pace of play. The foursome in front of us had at least a two hole gap ahead of them. Not even close to ready golf. We actually got so frustrated on waiting, we quit early. That's a first. The golf Marshall watched it for along time. Ugh!
Thank you for your feedback, Tom. We apologize on behalf of our staff and will address this situation internally. We hope this will not deter you from coming back and playing with us in the future.
Great local course
Course is in amazing condition!!! It's my #1 spot to play. It will be an even better course when the restaurant is in.
Thanks for your 5 star review! We are happy to hear that we are you #1 course. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Great Sunday Round
The course was adequately challenging for a high handicapper like myself. The course layout made you think, but was forgiving enough where I didn't lose my ball on mis-hits. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would play again and recommend to others.
Thank you for reviewing us. We are thankful for your recommendations and are looking forward to having you back for another great round!
Fun Course with plenty to offer
This is not the longest course, but it makes up for being on the short side with some holes that require thought off the tee. There's a few holes where bombing it will net you a birdie opportunity, but there are several par 4s that really make you consider a long iron out of the box. The greens are probably the biggest obstacle. Often small with plenty of speed and undulation. Always fun playing here!
We appreciate your feedback and glad to hear you always have fun on our course! Thanks for taking the time to inform other golfers on what to expect from our course. Hope to see you soon!
Rain Storm Golf... lol....
Allenmore, what's to say?
The course is a lot of fun, semi challenging, in wonderful condition.
This time out, after the first hole the rain began and boy howdy did it ever come down. I was drenched and with a strong wind the conditions became worthy of a US Open task master. Between the rain, the wind, wet ground, now-slippery-clubs... it was a blast. LOL I actually had a blast and still managed to play 18 holes of epic-challenge-golf. Wooo hooo! Hooyah!!!
I gotta give it up for Allenmore on this one, because even with the terrential rains and high winds... the course remained playable.
This one will go into the books for me to remember. I shot an 88 all said and done. Not bad for my 7th game of golf after 27 years I'm told. (?) I have no clue as I've never had a lesson to know one way or the other.
*cheers* and good golf to everyone. Where to play next round? We shall see...
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that despite the weather conditions, you had a great day on our course. Please come back and play with us again soon- maybe you'll get lucky with good weather and enjoy the course even more!!
