Tumwater Valley Golf Course always challenging

Once again the Tumwater Valley Golf Course (TVGC) has proven to be a great course and continues to challenge me. I am admitibly a frustrated high handicap 76 year old, so you can guess how much experience I have at playing golf. But, this public course does present a real challenge and delivers a quality experience.

slow play

we waited a minimum of 5 minutes at each tee box. play was so slow that we quit after hole 14 close to 4 hours into the round . had we continued, it would have been well over a 5 hour round!

Perfect weather for a round

It looked ominous but stayed dry while we were there, a bit windy at times.

Course was in good shape, a bit wet in places but fine overall. Make sure to hit it straight because the roughs s as te pretty dense and odds of finding a ball there are low.
