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
great
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:
Although the course is well maintained current construction on the first tee has you hitting from a mat.
Well maintained but generally uninteresting course. Repetitious in design and layout, but still good value for the money.
Greens are in great condition
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.
The Elks have improved this course dramatically since the last time I played here.
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.
New club house pack a lunch
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.
I can't wait until the club house opens!
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 has come a long way lately with new amenities.
The course has a new clubhouse. But no restaurant yet. They have a driving range and a practice green now. Overall a great value but watch out for the speedy greens
Improvements
Best improvement is removal of trees on first hole. New cart paths are nice, but can't wait for restaurant opening.
Great course
Was visiting a friend in Federal Way and staying in a hotel in Tacoma. Decided to play this course as it was close and not expensive.
The course was outstanding with great greens. The greens were in great condition.
This is must play if in the south Tacoma area.
...great facility with friendly staff. Good value!
The greens were great and fairways fast. Love the new clubhouse and all new carts. Cant wait for the restaurant to open.
The new clubhouse is beautiful
We have golfed here many times and have seen it get better and better. It is close to home and the price very reasonable which works for us. The only criticism I would have would be the pace of play(granted it was the Fourth of July ). We had to call a Marshall because there was a six some a few holes ahead of us and there were two to three groups always waiting to tee of at each hole. The Marshall did come out and things did pick up a little. All in all a Long day of golf. Parking is an issue as well. We were lucky and found the only open spot.
This course have came a long way...
Course was in great shape. Green was running fast and true. Fairways frim with great roll.
Fast Greens!
Very slow pace of play. at one hole there were 3 groups stacked up. Can't beat the value however.
Greens were in good shape
Enjoyed the course really like the improvements taking place there.
Construction of new clubhouse has things such parking & access to the temp clubhouse really hard
The course once you get to it is in good shape & plays well. Was surprised that they allow 5-somes. Pace was slow, and with the 2nd hole being a par 3 things really back-up.
This course has great everything
For the price I have never played a better course! The greens were perfect the fairways were very well groomed. Overall this course was amazing, I couldn't believe the prices. One of the best around!
The greens were very fast
Although short, this course had very fast and slopped greens. Course was in excellent shape. All new cart paths make for easy access.
Facilities under construction (new Pro Shop, restaurant, etc) Practice facilities need attention. Parking a little difficult.
A sunny and dry day in early May, made for slow play.
