Fun course
Haven’t played here in years. Course was in great shape. Greens were perfect speed for me. Pace of play was good. I saw several marshals driving around keeping an eye on things. Will definitely be back again.

Slow Pace of Play
Rangers need better job of reminding players to keep moving. I think to often the rangers are afraid of saying something to slow players. This is common every time I play. Other players also voice their concerns of slow pace of play.
Also no beverage cart to be found on the course. And here it was a hot day.

Great Course
I always love playing Lake Spanaway. Greens are fast and the fairways are maintained flawlessly. Bunkers can be a little heavy because of the moisture. Overall one of my go to courses in Pierce county.

Spanaway GC is beautiful, challenging, surprisingly long.
Was playing with a friend who hadn’t played it and he was very impressed and loved it.
Hot as hades on the 16th, regardless, it was a pleasure.
Excellent value.
