Discovery Bay Golf Club

First off, this is a course my dad and I used to play when I was growing up. The cheap green's fee's and the 9 holes that were there made for a good time. They made another 9 and it was so enclosed that it wasn't as much fun. After not playing it I went up the other day. I actually loved the course. It was better then I remembered. The greens were irragated but that's why I got a cheap green fee. The MAIN problem that makes this course so much worse then it should be was the white flowers.. They are everywhere. I spent more time losing and looking for balls in the rough and fairway then I would of liked. If they took care of this problem my rating would change to a 4. It's not joke either. There is so many white flowers/weeds that you ball gets lost in the rough and fairway so much.. Carthpaths could also use some dirt to fill holes. It is a nice course if they fix these issues.

It has been almost a year since the first time my wife and I played at Discovery Bay. Since that time there has been a huge transformation. Not only on the course itself, but also on the clubhouse and pro shop. New drain fields put in. Grass is more evenly cut. Overall appearance is phenomenal.
As for the clubhouse huge changes have occurred with the restrooms, and other areas. They will continue to make improvements along with opening up a restaurant soon. My wife and I had a great time and Dan was just awesome. He is the type of guy you need in almost every pro shop. Knowledgeable, courteous, and willing to make sure you have a great time.
We will be back.

The course was a bit wet on the front 9.It looks like they are trying to fix that.It was still a good day

I found the course tobe ingood condition. The 90 degree rule was in place do to much rain the week befor my play. The Greens rolled true and again because of the moisture held well on approach shots. I had some good shots and some bad shots, it was an enjoyable round of golf.

This course is beautiful year round, although can get mucky after weeks of rain. It was in good shape yesterday in spite of recent aeration. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are very fair. I especially enjoy the casual rate of play . . . usually not pushing folks or being pushed by folks.

Enjoyed the course and the staff. The course is well maintained and the holes are varied and challenging.

The front nine at Discovery Bay is the oldest municipal course in Washington. An additional nine, which winds through a forest, was added in recent years. It is a great course for the recreational golfer. Quiet, pristine area. Friendly staff and affordable golf.

Played discovery bay on a vacation week where I hit a bunch of courses. I played it at 7:30 in the morning. I was the first one of the course. They were mowing the grass and other maintenance on the course.

The greens had moss or another disease.
Couldn't get the tee into the ground on the tee box.
Fairways were fine.

The course has a great view and a unique feel. I would recommend you play but don't pay too much.

An average NW course. The greens were overly moist and the fairways were pretty dry and brown on the fringes.
Play was fast and not overly crowded for mid-week play.
One item I felt should be at some of the tee boxes is drinking
water - there was none available.

I was about an hour early for my tee time and the pro shop attendant would not let us tee off early(two some) even though there was only one couple that tee'd off during the hour.

This whole process was so easy. The purchase was simple and the procedures were simple.

The pro shop, Dan, was ready for us when we arrived and gave us full, courteous, and prompt attention. The golfing experience at Discovery Bay was very good based on the pace of play, service, and weather.

I would certainly return to this facility.

Greens in really good shape, fairways fairly hard (ball rolls and bounces a lot) lots of lateral hazards.

Diversity between front and back 9, like 2 different course experiences. Built on the side of a hill, virtually all the holes are either up or down hill from the tee boxes.

Most greens have some 'damage' and we decided to at least give ourselves a 'clean' putt to the hole location, but no closer to the pin.

Very dry conditions and a lot of brown grass on the fairways the day we played but ultimately playable. We would like the fairways to be 'smoother' than they were, a bumpy ride in a cart even though we went slowly.

Enough trouble to make you think but not so much that it was too difficult to enjoy. A decent day.

The front nine is great for walking. Yesterday we played 18 with a cart and enjoyed the challenge of the back nine.

The course was in really good shape. The greens rolled as they
should, not as we read them. Fun course to play.

We have a small dog that we like to take with us. This course allows us to do that. We keep the dog in the cart basket and can enjoy our play. The course is not too difficult and the views are tremendous.

I am use to playing a round of golf in 4-5 hours for public golf courses. But I couldn't believe how open and fast this place play. I was done with 18 with cart in under 3 hours. The greens need to be grass more and the fairways are super bumpy. Other than that, the tee box and fairway are kept really well. Overall this is a great place to play for the price.

No rain so that was great. Not many players pace was great.

So the front 9 greatly resembles a cow pasture. Not a ton of contours, kind of flat and open. The back, however, has a completely different feel, and was a good challenge. Greens are in pretty good shape right now.

This was our first time playing Discovery Bay. The course is beautiful as well as challenging. The pace of play was efficient. If you are looking for a fun golf day adventure, I recommend Discovery Bay!
