Spanaway Lakes. Glad we beat the rain...

My friends and I have played here numerous times. Weather was great for being April in WA. Overcast, mid 50's but no rain or wind during our round. We beat the downpour by about 20mins. Teed off right at 7:30 and I believe we were the second group out. The course was in really good shape. It was dry for a couple days prior but it still surprised all of us how fast the greens were. It's not an overly challenging course but with all the trees it will make you work if you're not fairly accurate off the tee. My only gripe is that I wish some of the grass was thicker in the fairways and around the green. There's lots of areas where the grass is really thin, or even muddy. It can make for some very tight lies. It's a city owned course so I'm not expecting country club conditions but I do think it's addressable. Finished in just over 4hrs. Pretty good day with the boys and I left taking home more money than what I showed up with. :)
