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.

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.

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.

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. .

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.

Tremendous Value.

Friends and I were in town to watch the US Open at Chambers Bay, most courses were booked solid months in advance, we were lucky to get a tee time at Allenmore on a days notice at an amazing rate through GN. Clubhouse was nice, range was short, but perfect for a quick warmup. Good selection of food and Bev in the clubhouse and on the course. Course played Well, not super long but definitely some challenging holes. This was likely the only course in Tacoma that didn't jack their rates up for the US Open. Recommended if you're in the area.

The course was in good condition, only issue we had was they sent 2 groups in front of us on the back nine. Other than that it was a good time.
