One for 2023

An overcast day with some sunny days. The course was on the wet side but that is typical for the course at this time of the year. Cart path only. Greens were in great condition. Amazingly fast. Good day!

Course is flat

The course was ridiculously wet and muddy. Feet were soaked from sinking into water constantly even on fairways. It was basically flooded. There were piles of sand on one fairway from river flooding I assume. The grass was long because I assume it was too wet to put mowers out there. We walked course as it was cart path only. We were all muddy and wet. Would not recommend playing until July-August. Course is pretty flat, decent course layout.

Early spring in Tumwater

Enjoyed it spectacular afternoon at Tumwater Valley golf course. Tumwater is damp during the winter but I was pleasantly surprised by the conditions. Roll was minimal, but no buried balls. Barely got 18 in before dark, but it was a great day and a great value, thanks to GolfNow

Not a bad track

Went on a rainy day and pretty much had the course to ourselves, we walked the course and despite the rain increasing the course stayed in pretty good shape, minimal puddles in the fairway and the greens rolled consistently throughout the round. I think only two holes had standing water on the greens but did not effect our putts. Winter golf is what it is so I went there not expecting us open conditions but was pleasantly surprised. Would definitely play again and would love to walk it in the summer time

Bring a kayak

Tumwater Valley is a great course June - September and into October. Super wet and saturated fairways / rough. Greens impressively were quick. Would not recommend golfing in the rainy season.
