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.

Happy!

For just having rain in the morning before, this course was in great shape. Did not have any plugged balls in the ground which means course has great drainage. This is good to know in this type of climate. Very happy.

Allenmore GC

A good test. No flat lies to speak of anywhere except dead center on some fairways. Good pace of play with an attentative Marshall on patrol. When available I play from "Senior" tees, between white and red. Here I played from the back of the reds while my wife played from the front. While it's not real long the course is always interesting with uphill, down hill, side hill lies and shots through the trees plus tricky greens. We'll be back.

First time at Allenmore

Excellent day, I was impressed by the condition of the course, especially for how much play it must get....the greens had been punched about 4 weeks prior to my round and they were rolling true and fast. This is not a long course, but you'll use every club in your bag. The par 3s are excellent. I'll be back now that I know where to, or not to hit my ball on certain holes.

good golf, morning busy

Overall I liked the course and amenities. As a new golfer, I think that this course could use a better posting of " house rules". My self and a friend were paired with two others for a walking foursome and there were several sets in front of us. Unfortunately the group behind us was in carts and hit into us three times without a customary hazard call. We couldn't play faster without risking the same, but I think our "friends to the rear" could have asked to play through or asked a Marshall to let them hold off. Luckily we got to eighteen before it became an issue again and I could leave. I noticed the course was much less cramped between groups at noon. IF I return it will only be afternoon to avoid those golfers that lack respect.

Poor weather
Walked

This course is well maintained, and has several challenging holes on the front as well as the back.

The weather was poor, but the course remained solid. Of course after walking 17 holes, the walk up to the 18th hole is extremely challenging. They use to have a rope pull, but for some reason they haven't maintained it, which I'm a bit sour about, as I have found other walkers upset about equally. But, still, it is a very well maintained course. The sand traps have adequate sand with no pebbles. The greens generally are wide, and fast, except when wet. The fairways are cut evenly, and short. I like this course, but I don't like the hike to the 18th Tee box. I'm dead by the time I arrive.

First time at Allenmore

This was my first time playing Allenmore. The course was in decent shape. Greens were nice but the fairway was torn up. The pace of play was very fast. Less than 3 hours and 15 minutes for 18-holes. If you can drive the ball 250+ you'll find this course very easy.

tough putts

It looks like they put a lot of money into the appearance- ie- restaurant, pro shop and tee boxes. The restaurant was expensive but the food was good. There were 6-8 steps up to a tee box that should be redone, dangerous. The greens were fast and tough. I liked that. Overall the course was in pretty decent shape. I would go back.

A great morning walk

Easy walk. We played at 6:37am and avoided a crowded slow course. The course and greens were in good shape. Note the practice green was much faster and steeper than the course greens. The driving range is limited to 150yards or one will hit into a tee box. The restaurant is very good with nice twists on traditional food.
