Allenmore Golf Course is located in the heart of Tacoma but thanks to the beautiful setting with Mt. Rainier serving as a backdrop, it feels like it's actually miles from the city. The layout is just over 6,000 yards from the back tees and though it's not particularly long, it offers plenty of variety. It's a course where you'll have to use every club in your bag. Trouble lurks at almost every turn in the form of doglegs, trees, or out-of-bounds. Water hazards also come into play. With uphill, sidehill, and downhill lies, the course is never boring and while there are some challenging holes, there are also birdie opportunities if you play strategically. In addition to the golf course, Allenmore also has a short-iron driving range and a practice facility with chipping and putting greens.

Torn up

Beside this being a boring course, they have TORN up the course to add irrigation I believe, they don’t have hole 5 anymore (par 4). So they added a 85 yard par 3 in between a couple holes so if you can find it and actually play 18 then it’s a par 70? Driving range is irons only. Greens were actually decent. Hopefully the renovations will help in the next couple years but they are still charging 50 bucks to play midweek.

Course conditions

There’s construction on the course and it’s really terrible conditions to play nowadays. I don’t think I’ll going back until they finish the work. In this condition still charging the same price is not right. Took us almost 5 hr. for round .😰

Really?

We had great weather and we played with a couple of guys that were a lot of fun to play with.

The course was atrocious! I understand that a new sprinkler system is being installed...let the patrons know prior to spending 44 per person...and that was a "hot deal"

Hi huskyfan96, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about your recent round. We are currently replacing our entire golf course irrigation system which necessitates turning off our irrigation pumps for multiple days during active construction and then overwatering when we are able to turn the irrigation back on.

Our teams are working diligently to keep the course up in shape as we work through this maintenance period. We anticipate the project will be done this winter and the course will be in excellent shape for next spring! Please feel free to reach out with any additional concerns and we hope to see you on the course again soon.

Expected much better

Took advantage of a "TEEoff.com" coupon special for 18 holes with a power cart, but the golf course was going through a drainage system renovation and poor fairway conditions. I'm surprised they haven't reduced their normal tee time green fees with the golf course in this bad of condition. I don't think I will be playing here again for quite awhile.

Under Construction

I'm a long time Tacoma resident, played this course numerous times over several decades. This course is a gem when it's not under construction. I applaud the Allenmore management team for investing in this upgrade project. I'm sure in the end it will make the course a better but right now it's hard to golf there. The fairways are all chopped up with ditches, mounds, tire tracks, holes everywhere. The course only had 17 playable holes including a temporary 66 yard Par 3. The greens were great though. I've always said Allenmore has the best public greens in Tacoma. The renovation project which seems to be focused on the irrigation system is going on year 2. Hopefully it will be all done in 2024 and hopefully the management team won't raise the golf rates to pay for the upgraded sprinkler system. I look forward to golfing Allenmore again when everything is back to normal, but until then I'm booking my rounds elsewhere.

Upset

Allenmore is normally great but after paying a nominal fee to play we discovered the course is all torn up with a major project. Holes 1 and 15 were closed. Customers should be told before paying to play.

Course Renovations

Lots of the holes were under construction. Couldn’t play Hole 18 and they put a temporary hole between 9 and 10. Had a golf special but if I had to pay full price, I would be really upset. Nowhere on the website does it say their course is under construction.

Course Work

Would have been nice to know that the course was under repair. Two par fours turned into par three’s and wasn’t told that course was under repair. Holes and pipes laying all around the course. Didn’t finish because of pace of play. Wait tell course gets repaired.

Normally I would rate this course highly, however with all the work being done on irrigation and drainage I would wait about 6 months before playing this course again
