Nice relaxing day golfing. Ts and greens recently plugged so a bit rough but will be better in a couple weeks.

We took 5 hours due mostly to our group skill level.

Good course for the beginning or trying to improve weekend golfer.

Good course for us 14-18 hanicappers! Open fairways and easy approaches to big greens. Hazards are not severe. I was surprised how dry the course was considering it was February and it is the Pacific NW. Does tend to get crowded in the summer.

This course was in great condition for the rainy season

We showed a little early for our tee time and the staff said that we could start on ten, but we decided to get a bite to eat in the resturaunt before starting our round. This was a great breakfast with great hospitality. All in all we had a wonderful day of golf in a great location along the river.

Great location and hardly ever crowded. Back nine is more interesting while the front nine is typical.

I played with my brother over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. The service was friendly and the carts seemed brand new. There is a blow dryer you can use to dry off your clubs at the end of the day. I will come back and golf whenever I'm back in town visiting family!

GREAT COURSE FOR LOW PRICE

Tumwater Valley is an excellent course - pretty wide open with excellent greens and fairways. Best course in the South Sound area by far, possibly best deal in Western Washington. Juniors play for $3 each after 12 noon. I have 2 sons and our TOTAL green fees are $33 for 18 holes on Saturday or Sunday.
