Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Holes 17 & 18
I miss the old layout. I don’t like the fact that the 17th & 18th tee boxes are right next to each other, and that you have to walk or drive all the way back. Unless there are no golfers in front of you, and can then hit both tee shots and be able to leave your clubs on the side of the 18th fairway.
Nice course
Love playing this course, no sand or water but other hazards. I would give this a 5 but, first time I played was an 8 tee time and second 9:04. Both time the greens had not been swept, so putting was a nightmare.
Very cool place to play. Great value.
Friendly staff and the condition of the course is pretty good. From tee box to the green. Will definitely come back and play this course again.
Very pleasant
Good course, greens were very sandy, some “ burn” spots around some the greens. Given the heat this year, it was good
Great Family Atmosphere
We love playing this course, our only issue is they have no marshal. There was a fivesome in front of us and one behind us. It took almost five hours to play and would have been worse but we skipped a hole and went ahead of the fivesome. The poor guy in the pro shop was all alone doing his best to keep people moving off the first tee, while also checking people in, staging carts and answering the phone. He was great considering how busy it was and definitely could have used some help. I like this course and we will play again. Hopefully they can find more help.
Good course for beginners
I took my wife and two sons for family outing.
I paid $16/ person not too bad for a hot deal.
The weather was raining on and off throughout the day. Certain tee boxes wasn’t well drained. The greens was not too bad. Great value for the green fees.
Great value. Simple fairway but challenging green.
I booked the tt. But was not able to play due illness. 3 of my friend played. They told me the course put the 4th in our group. And told them that I can get money back. Just let you know if I can get it back some how
Hidden Secret
What a great course. Staff is very friendly and great price
Réunion Party With funny Games
We played this hot deal with GolfNow. The Course was ok. no water, no challenges,no thrills, But the rate was worth it . The Bad Thing was a reunion tournament in Front of us playing Games like playing with ohne Hand, using a Hockey Stick, Running three times around The Green before hitting. We needed 4 Hours for The First 9 holes. It was a torture.
We have been informed of some slow foursomes before us, but did not expect that!
Over watered greens
The greens are way over watered, standing water is a problem. The maintenance staff should start earlier to be off the front nine by the first tee time. They should pay attention and not slow play down. The layout for 17 and 18 is very stupid. Poor design and can cause major backup during busy time. Doesn't seem like the ownership takes pride in what they have here. This course has a lot of potential if you get a new course maintenance superintendent that's not a poor leader. Get outta bed earlier!!! Get out of the way sooner or start tee times after work is done.
