Allenmore Golf Course

Heah, It's March....and it rained cats a dogs. This course does not do well with wet weather. Standing water even on inclines....ankle deep in places. Balls plug in the fairway and traps were full of water. Greens were moderately slow and were not damaged by foot traffic. Play this after a stretch of dry weather or in the late spring, summer, or fall. Otherwise, good luck unless you are desperate to get in a round on a warm day. I bailed out on my back nine - I was soaked and I wore rain gear!

For a rainy day in Tacoma. The greens were really fast. Never seen anything like it before. They played like it was summer.

Had an enjoyable round of golf. There was no restaurant or bar. They are working on getting a food service in. Nice new clubhouse. Lots of new updates that have improved the whole course. After all the rain the fairways weren't too bad as far as muddy and the greens were excellent. For this time of year the course is better than most.

I booked my tee time online through golfnow.com. It said my tee time was booked with a cart and a bucket of range balls. When I got to the course and checked in, the person at the counter said that they did not have any specials showing on golfnow.com. I logged in, and because I had booked a foursome, the special was not showing, however, I did show the person at the counter that there were other specials showing the same special and told him that is how I booked my tee time. He persisted that there were no specials that the course was offering even after I had showed him there were. I eventually had to pay an extra $20 per cart. Had I had known the carts were not included, I would have brought my own push cart.

always fun to play, the club house is still under construction. will be a great place to have a refreshment after a round.

Had a great day at a fab price. Very well groomed and saw nobody on front nine. Had a great time

I was a little unhappy with the conditions this particular day.
It had rained pretty hard the night before, but it appeared the pins had not been changed for at least a couple of days.
The holes were all broken down.

Other than that it was an enjoyable round.

Allenmore is a Tacoma Municipal staple. Fairly short, true greens, and a bit soggy fairways. The clubhouse/pro shop is brand new and really nice, and the restaurant is going to keep people coming back. Very reasonable rates for what the course has to offer although during this time of year it is cart path only.

We play Allenmore two or three times each year. Greens are always fast and true.

It's a good course that is well maintained, but many of the holes feel the same -- long and straight. At my level that's fine.

Course lacks a putting green, cart girls, restaurant, tee box on #1, all improvement to actually get done. Better players just move along, nothing to see here. Course would be worth practicing on for $10. Did I mention 150 yards limit driving range? I don't need to say any more. A lot of slow beginners play here so you are warned!

I have played Allenmore several times now and it is drastically improved since the Elks moved and pumped a bunch of money into the facilities and grounds. In the summer months the greens were some of the best and slickest I have played on. In the winter months, the greens are more forgiving but in good condition. I recommend playing this course if you want to play a challenging but affordable track...

We had a great time and the course was in very good shape for the month of October.

Nice course! A must play in Tacoma. Be prepared for slow play though. It looks easy but it's not. Super tight fairways. and some funnel in. What I liked, the Tee Boxes are flat. Condition is nice and your ball can be seen in the rough. It is a value play. Iron only driving range.Golf Tips: 

Well maintained but generally uninteresting course. Repetitious in design and layout, but still good value for the money.

The course needs
The course needs a few mior repairs. It has bee recently revamped and few adjustmets are required. Other than that, it is i great shape.

I have always like Allenmore, even as a student at UPS. However, with the Elks moving their lodge to the site they have improved the facilities immensely. There is a new club house, pro shop and restaurant. Although it rained, I enjoyed the course and the layout.

This is the first time I've played the course since they built a new club house! Now it is the Tacoma Elks! There is no food available for golfers on the turn so if you are expecting to get a snack after the front nine pack a lunch! The putting green by the pro shop is on a side hill and when you putt down hill it rolls off the green onto the cart path.

Allenmore has always been a nice course, but they have bought it to the next level.
Paved cart paths and pristine greens.
The remodeling will no doubt make it Tacoma's top course. I just hope it does not price it out of the market for the average golfer.7

Course was great. New carts and cart paths. No food available yet.
