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.

Playing at Tumwater Valley Golf Course with my best friends.

I really like the course. It is long compared to my more friendly course, the Green Course at Eagles Pride Golf Course near DuPont. A cart is needed here to cover the length of the 18 holes.

No bathrooms!!

Bathroom only in the building. Can’t bring golf carts to the car. Can’t bring golf carts on the course. Rodents mounds everywhere on the green.

Can't book course online

Course doesn't let a single book online, so listing it on Golf Now is pretty worthless.
