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.

Good course for price
Played 18 at 2:30p start time. 12th hole was closed due to irrigation work; temporary par-3 65 yard hole instead. Tee boxes were well worn, but decent. Fairways were pretty dry and given the slope on some, that creates a challenge with the roll- especially on drives. Greens were a little bit rough- some patches of bare dirt and moss, but mostly around the edges. Not great, but not a deal breaker. Layout was good and logical to follow. Signage was decent.
All staff seemed quite friendly. Decent pro-shop. I think the bar/restaurant upstairs doubles as an Elks Lodge? Downstairs bar/grill was closed. No drink cart service on the day I played. Parking was easy. Driving range was short, but decent for a warm-up.
Would play again if in the area.
Pretty tight course
Tight course and greens ran smoothly with no “hops” on the roll. Some holes had a lot of dead grass, but I’m guessing with the slope of some of the hills, the water can’t really stay. Played my best round out here and it was well needed.

Twilight Round
The layout is decent and the staff was friendly. Greens were in okay shape. Fairways were hard pan in most areas. Pace of play was horrendous. Would not recommend for twilight and conditions this time of year.

Green Not Good
I have been going to Allenmore for about 10 years. This is the worse I have ever seen the greens. dead bare spots , and many differing levels of moisture and green. looked like a severe skin disease. lol

Allenmore GC
Played Allenmore in the early morning and the condition of the greens were great, extremely improved from earlier in the summer. Green speeds were fast, very smooth, and very consistent throughout the round. Great greens for the price, they make the course.
They have a substantial sprinkler upgrade project going on, but the impact is fairly small for how big of a project it is. Hopefully the overall condition will be improved once the upgrade is complete.
Course is overall in decent shape considering the work taking place and you can tell they need the upgraded system to provide more even coverage across the fairways. The value is great considering the condition of the greens and they really do make the course. The layout is OK, but you need to really put your approach shots in the right spots and not short side yourself.
u314161691559, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Allenmore Golf Course.

Working on the irrigation
One par 4 has been temporarily shortened and some construction equipment is sometimes in the way and at times they can be pretty noisy. But it’s still golf. Greens look patchy but rolled pretty smooth.

Very sad - great course, but a bit of a mess right now
I've played Allenmore many times. It's a fun layout and the course is typically in pretty good shape. It has been a few months since I've played it and boy, I'm just not sure what's going on.
Greens
Cauliflower pattern going on with the grass. They're rolling very fast which I like but unfortunately the multiple types of grass they appear to have growing is resulting in a very bumpy roll and unpredictable changes of direction. I am not sure how they will fix this as there literally appears to be 2 kinds of grass growing on the greens. Putted 6 more putts over 9 holes than my 20 round average and it was not due to having a bad day. Greens can't hold an approach shot hardly at all right now.
Fairways
Burnt out, cut very very short. Ball rolls forever which obviously can be both good and bad.
Construction
It appears there is a major upgrade or repair going on with irrigation as #7 is all dug up and the tee box moved to 200 yards out and workers are everywhere (mostly adjacent to fairways). Why this is being done during peak golf season is a mystery.
Cost
Despite all of this, no effort has been made to let the public know ahead of scheduling, no mention of the conditions in the pro shop. No change to fees.
I hope the course returns to past conditions - it has always been pretty good but frankly it seems like they will have long term challenges getting this back into shape especially with what is happening on the greens right now.

Bumpy Greens, no Food
Got a bargain rate on golf now and played with an awesome couple from Bremerton. The greens were very bumpy and inconsistent maybe because of the heat. They gave a phone number for food at the turn but nobody answered, turned out the restaurant was closed. The drinks lady with a cart came around on the second hole when it was still cloudy but we never saw her after that when it heated up.

Hi, hartgreen. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement.
We are currently replacing our entire golf course irrigation system which necessitates turning off our irrigation pumps for multiple days during active construction and then overwatering when we are able to turn the irrigation back on.
Our teams are working diligently to keep the course up in shape as we work through this maintenance period. We anticipate the project will be done this winter and the course will be in excellent shape for next spring! Please feel free to reach out with any additional concerns and we hope to see you on the course again soon!
