Rating 74.4

Located just 45 minutes southwest of Tacoma, Tahoma Valley Golf Course has garnered a reputation for being the driest course in the Puget Sound. The course boasts well manicured greens that putt fast and true. The greens showcase the best of the Northwest's undulating, bump-and-run golf. Its location provides every hole with a stunning view of Mount Rainier. Just shy of 6,000 yards from the back tees, it's not an especially long layout but it is narrow enough to present a challenge. The wide fairways are forgiving, making it player friendly enough for beginners, and there are enough challenges to please high handicappers as well. With an abundance of mature trees throughout, Tahoma Valley Golf Course demands accuracy. The par 3s are particularly memorable for both their views and level of difficulty.

Not good

I come from Wisconsin and this was by far the worst course I’ve ever played. Sprinklers were on mid round at 2pm. Very poor course conditions. Staff consistently driving back and forth throughout holes. The rental clubs were the worst I’ve ever used. Overall very bad course but cheap so if you want to play a round of golf inexpensively would be a good option

ROI

ROI=Return on Investment. I can’t tell you how much you get for the value at Tahoma Valley Golf Club. The staff, pro-shop, course conditions, layout and bar/restaurant are as good a value as you will find for miles around. The staff in the bar are top notch with an amazing food selection. Try this little hideaway in Yelm, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Backed up

Ended up backed up hole after hole with two groups behind us because of the group before us and I asked the other 2 groups if it's usually like this pace abs they said it is pretty usual. Front desk guy was pretty rude but the cart guy was very kind. It was a rainy rainy day and the course stayed playable not muddy like other courses in the area.
