Auburn Golf Course

Where does one start… We got there later than we wanted due to traffic and our tee time was set for 12:45. Good thing because we planned on hitting a small bucket to warm up but they don’t have a range. 15 minutes to spare we putted a little and got in a line of carts to start. Play was very slow and the Marshall sucked. He was rude to us on the back nine telling us we needed to move it along when we were waiting an average of 5 – 10 minutes at each tee for the groups ahead of us. He was poorly managing play today. Our third to our party is a very avid golfer got upset after nine and went home. The front nine took us 2:45 which was way to long. We finished in over 5 hours with just a pair on the back. Anyways a nice course, we may try it again but I hope they figure their shit out.

The back 9 is a lot of fun but the front 9 is very boring. Greens are in ok shape but I again believe that the price is not worth the course. And we set a tee time but had to wait for 5 other groups to go before us. Why set tee times if they won’t honor them.
Had to wait for the bartenders to get done chatting before they would help us. So not good service but the food is normally pretty good.
I’ve tried to golf there 4 times this year and even signed up for couples league and ever time we got a refund and went to Washington National and the cost was less and the course is much much better.

NEVER, EVER AGAIN! I’m a retired avid golfer and I live in Auburn. I play 2 – 3 times a week at courses across the region and have a great appreciation for a well run course. I had been horribly disappointed by Auburn Golf course 3 years ago after a SIX AND A HALF HOUR ROUND on a horrendously overloaded course. When a friend invited me to play there today (Friday) I reluctantly agreed to give them another chance. What a HUGE mistake! Our tee time was for 11:37. We were present, loaded up and ready to play by 11. They were starting everyone off on number 10 and there were 12 – 14 carts backed up waiting to get underway. We finally hit our first shot at 12:15! Nearly 40 MINUTES BEHIND from the very beginning. From that point on we waited 15 – 20 minutes before EVERY SINGLE SHOT! By 1:40 PM we had played all of THREE HOLES … a full TWO HOURS after our original tee time! This course appears incapable of proper course management and is willing to accept money from as many people willing to give it to them REGARDLESS of pace of play. Do yourself a huge favor and NEVER waste your time or money on this course!

June 2015 — Went for dinner with multiple couples to the latest Auburn Golf course restaurant, it’s changed hands a few times in the past years and unfortunately the latest restaurant operation did not offer us any entrées to rave about.
Specifically a few of our main courses were not flavorful. Typical nothing special, same lousy fare as expected for Auburn’s general restaurant offerings. Wasn’t worth the time or trouble to send any of our food back to the kitchen, as it was apparent their cook staff is equal to that found at most any Denny’s diner.
So disappointed as Auburn is in need of better quality cuisine options! No need to revisit this one anytime soon.

Course is in nice shape, but it’s a bit wet for the dry weather. They need to water a bit less and the course could still stay in great shape. When a ball plugs on a tee shot in hot dry July that is a bad sign.

A good golf course for the money, but the pace of play can be a bit slow as other users have mentioned. Not too narrow, which is good for someone who has a bit of a slice like I do. The food in the restaurant is pretty good as well. The only thing missing is a driving range.

For a muni course the grounds and facilities are maintained beautifully. The course has a nice layout and the greens fees are very affordable. Unfortunately those low green fees come at a price. the course is loaded with a certain clientele (tank tops, camo and ciggarettes) that doesn’t follow common golfer courtesy. Keep your eyes open for people that hit right in to you and don’t know how to yell «fore.» Expect to be in confrontations with other golfers.

The golf course is great if you just evaluate the course. Not expensive and amazing scenery. My frustration with this course is;
1) the pro shop crowds the golf course. I have played 4 times this year and we waited 10 – 15 minutes every hole. At every tee box there will be 2 – 3 foursomes in front of you. Expect slow play!
2) This course attracts your denim cut off wearing tank top golfer who will hit into your group. I have witnessed several potential fights because of the slow play.
3) be prepared to be paired up with non-​etiquette golfers. Driving on tee boxes, etc.
Love the course — just hate the experience here!

This is my home course! I play several times a week and the course is always in great shape, the price is right and the staff is professional and friendly. I’m biased but I think we have the best public course around!

Great Staff, great deals, one of the funnest courses in WA. in South King county

Golf, beer karts, fun!
This is a great course
I hadn’t golfed in about three years, and this was the first time I golfed in the PNW since moving out here in 2008.
A great course too, greens are tidy and the fairways well maintained.
The only issue I had was I noticed some thoughtless golfers had driven a cart through a sand-​trap. UN COOL.

This course is great if you’re able to score a great rate. Every time I’ve played, it’s been roughly $ 20. Always call for special rates.
This course is very flat, and wide open = easy scoring conditions.
Generally decent conditions.

Played Auburn for the fist time. A well groomed course with some peeks and valley. I enjoyed it and overall not to wet. The greens rolls and have some shape to them. Overall not to hard but enough to keep you honest.

I might be a bit biased because its close to home and I go to this course regularly. The staff that runs the course is friendly, helpful and easygoing. The course is kept in very good condition and is quite scenic with very nice holes overlooking the surrounding valley. There’s some fairly challenging uphill and fun downhill holes. The 16^th hole with the fountain is beautiful and well landscaped.
Regular Price is a bit higher compared to other city courses, but they have leagues and memberships where course fees are discounted.
Another plus is its not as busy as other nearby courses like Kent Riverbend.
The restaurant attached to this course is ok… its fancy for auburn but food is average.

This weekend was the third time we’ve been to Auburn Golf and we love it. The course is really great — the front nine is pretty straight and flat, but the back nine is all over the place (in a good way)! They keep up the course really well even when it gets pretty muddy. A lot better than other courses anyway.
On a side note we’ve had the best luck each time we’ve gone with the people we get paired with. Not necessarily kudos for the golf course on that, probably luck, but I guess good people like to golf there!
The restaurant — Copper Falls — is really good. I’ll write a separate review for that. I do wish though that they had something in between the kind of fine dining that the restaurant is and the meager snacks in the pro shop. It’s nice to grab something really quick when you’re going from the front nine to the back, but there isn’t much time. That’s my only complaint though. We’ll be going back.

A new renovation has brought Auburn Golf Course into the new decade. Course was in great shape and the new layout makes it more of a challenge. However, it’s still to similar to the old course, thus making it not too difficult for a scratch player. Greens fees are really reasonable and the course stays pretty dry throughout the year. I prefer Auburn over way easier courses like Maplewood and Riverbend. While it isn’t the toughest challenge in the area, it’s never the less an enjoyable round.
