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.

Golfer Reviews
coures was in good shape
The course was in very good shape they need a snack bar for beer and hot dogs
Early morning Fun
Had a Tee time at 6:30 am and the sun had just come up. Course was wet from dew but other than that the fairways were short and rough was manageable. Greens were fast for having been punched 3 weeks prior they rolled smooth as well. Not the hardest or longest course but I will play here again for sure.
We're thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable round with us, Jarrod2338270! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great intermediate course.
Allenmore is always fun.
They were running 20 minutes late yesterday on tee times, but pace of play wasn't bad for a beautiful Sunday afternoon. No power cart restrictions definitely helped in pace of play.
They added an impromptu beverage cart, which was nice.
We're glad you had a fun round, CRogerson! We love hearing from our golfers!
Great Course - Poor Atmosphere
Have played this course as part of a 4-some at least 100 times. The course is always well kept and enjoyable but the admin staff is typical Elks; Old, Grouchy, Unprofessional, Unhelpful, Unfriendly, and at times just plain Rude. Quite the more so since the Elks club rebuilt ON the course property and got rid of their long time professional staff in favor of folks who just don't give a hoot whether you play here or not. I really like the course and bargains are generally aqvaiable. But if there is any chance to go elsewhere, we will !!. Gorgeous clubhouse with absolutely NO priveleges for non-ELKS ... I was a member ... but no longer.
Thomas3386856, we have been working on this. I know it seems like we don’t have a lot of options for the golfers to sit down and eat but that will be changing here in the next couple months. We are bringing in a wonderful restaurant that will be the nicest and most comfortable place for golfers to sit and relax after their round of golf. We take pride in making sure our golfers have a good experience while playing golf here at Allenmore or just here to visit. I hope guest that have had a bad experience here will come back and try again, and see that we really do care about our golfers and hope to make it one of the best times they have had at a golf course.
Growing the Game for Kids...Not at Allenmore
Took my kids out to walk with me and Grandpa as we played. They love watching and I can teach them etiquette. We are walking down the first hole and the surly old pro shop attendant tells us we're crazy thinking we can bring the kids on the course. When asked for a reason, he said its policy at every course. They've walked at plenty of other courses, so I asked to see the policy, as it wasn't displayed anywhere in the clubhouse. He wasn't able to produce this policy, so apparently it was just his personal policy that he didn't want kids on the course. Extremely frustrating to load the kids back into the car disappointed that they couldn't golf.
rain
The course does not drain well in the rain. I enjoy playing this course in the Summer, but I wouldn't play it again jn the rain. The greens have puddles in the rain.
Not Accomodating
Requested a handicap flag and they said okay, but I had to stay on cart paths even though a recent leg implant makes it difficult and painful to walk up or down hills. If I hadn't prepaid I wouldn't have teed off. Rude staff.
Good conditions
I enjoyed the course. Conditions were nice. Greens were punched 3 weeks ago and have healed nicely. It's definitely a busy place, but the pace of play was fine. It has some nice views of Mt. Rainer on the back nine, if you catch it on a clear day.
Beautiful old course
played with 3 of my older friends and had a very good time. Pace of play was good and greens, even though recently aerated, were in good shape. Good value
Pretty nice little course
I really enjoyed my round here. It's on the short side, but it's fairly tight so it's not without its challenges. It was in great shape and the greens were rolling smooth as silk. The view of Rainier from the 18th tee is a great way to finish up the round.
Rude staff
course was overbooked no starter people jumped tee times single on 1st tee had group join (2 people made threesome) our t time was before them second hole 2 more joined up 5 people now very slow two groups in front real slow marshal did not care left did not see him again all day. Group behind us hit down on use 5 time one ball missed wife by 6" went to pro shop they did not care did nothing will not play course again do to pro shop rude staff and very slow play (5hrs 30min to get done) Did not finish round left on 18 (was almost hit for last time same group to dangerous to play.
Very slow play
Groups of twosomes out in front of our foursome. Marshall was unresponsive to our request to pair up twosomes to speed up play and drove off in opposite direction from problem groups.
Played with my son on my Birthday
It has been at least 10 years since I have played this course. But remember it was nice and walkable. I met my son here for a central location and it was a hot day. Greens were in great shape but a little on the slow side. Trees are the main challenge otherwise pretty open course. .
Creative shots to Beautiful putting surfaces
Bravo to the elks club and the allenmore staff for creating a fun experience for our group the other day. The course played great on a windy day. Lush greens that rolled true and with many beautiful sight lines and fun shots. Great place to test your game!!
good
enjoyable will play again
good value for price can't think of much else to say
Location, pace
I like playing Allenmore because its 10 mins from home. My overall experience was good, they have newer golf carts which are great too. My only small complaint would be that we played behind a group of 5 which slowed play a bit. Greens were a little slow because of a light layer sand, they should be prefect for this coming weekend! I plan playing here a couple times month.
Thank you for your feedback, uSPPS7150SP!!
