Jefferson Park Golf Club

This course is difficult. 3 of us ladies signed up to play and they made a guy join us. He took so long to tee off that we only played 10 holes in about 3 hours. It sucks that this course makes you pay for 18 holes irregardless and yet they make you play w someone you don’t know who slows down and throws off your game. I won’t play here again. The greens had holes and the ball jumped too much. Putting was super hard because of the condition of the greens.

We ate at the grill once back in July and it was ok. I had the pork tacos and my husband had the BLT. My husband loved his BLT and even though I liked my pork tacos, I got sick from them. I kindly Facebook messaged the staff to let them know that I had the pork toward the end of the day and got sick. They sent us a voucher. We went there again last night and I had the Western Burger and my husband had the Beacon bacon burger. They were both delicious. The manager took over for our server toward the end of our visit and she was so kind. Our server was also super friendly. This place slow cooks their bacon and pork daily so you’re not getting prepared food. Also, the burgers are done well done unless you tell them otherwise (we both were ok with that). The patties in their burgers were a good size and juicy. The buns were soft and tasty. Can’t wait to give their breakfast a try.

This place is ok, but the management doesn’t really seem care much about the place. No water, ball cleaners are dry, no starter and the tee time scheduling is ridiculous. When you come up to the 3^rd hole and there are already 3 groups waiting something is off. I play all the other municipal courses in Seattle and this is by far ranks the lowest. I’m sure the new faculties will be run down with poor maintenance within a couple years. Too bad, it could be a great place. Actually I bet you could just walk on and play… Play West Seattle, the management is all over it there.

Try to play West Seattle or Jackson Park before settling for this place.
This is meant as a constructive critique of Premier Golf’s management of the Jefferson Park facility. I like this course but want it to be on par with the other two facilities in Seattle. I truly hope this is not what happens when for profit corporations (Premier Golf) take over formerly publicly owned and operated facilities managed by PGA professionals. I have been a member at other clubs managed by Nicklaus’s, the PGA group and an on-​site PGA pro.
Clubhouse: Cannot call it a Pro-​shop because have never seen a pro here in the half dozen times I have played here in the last month. Are lessons by PGA pro even offered? The people at the counter have very little personality (except Mark, who is great) and act as if they hate their job. No one in the place seems to be a golfer though. Just taking money and making change. Asked about the course and the greens and got a blank stare from the woman behind the counter. Rudely told the coffee was not ready for an early tee time. Rarely is coffee ready for the early tee times as the café is open but no one up front to take an order. Waited for over 20 minutes for eggs and bacon (one other customer). Food was palatable though.
Starter (Fred i think was his name) is the only bright spot at this facility he was very helpful with information and his friendly demeanor gets your round started right.
Th sign on the Food Shack at the turn says it does not open ’til 10:00 AM. Still no coffee nor edibles after 9 holes, more on this later.
The course is average muni: not too many challenges. Fairways reasonable but need irrigation (as most public courses do) to make their quality match the greens. The greens were in excellent shape and very challenging. The greenskeeper is doing a great job. Pins were in tough locations and the contours were maximized.
After the 16^th hole the Food Shack is open (now 10:40) but only for drinks and packaged food.
I hear the young man in the shack say «I know the sign says we open at 10:00 but I do not get here until 10:20 and the hot dogs wont be ready ’til 11» WTF!
Overall the course itself is quite nice but the service is horrid (food/​beverage AND clubhouse).
I have played other Seattle Parks-​Premier Golf properties (West Seattle and Jackson Park) and they are both top notch all-​around (food/​beverage, clubhouse and course quality). What is Premier’s problem? Need new management at Jefferson Park? Maybe quit treating Jefferson as the poor cousin?

Newly remodeled club house and driving range are great. Good food and good prices in the restaurant. The course is maintained pretty well and has some challenging holes and sand trap placement. I’ve played a few times this year, and my only real complaint is how the course is maintained, considering that the teebox on the 10^th hole has been out of commission all summer with a cheap torn up mat being used instead. They also pack golfers in and it can make for a long day of golf. Although if you play the twilight special for $ 16, it’s still worth some of those issues.

Highly recommended! They recently remodeled the entire place. New clubhouse, restaurant, added a new short 9 and FootGolf course, updated driving range with great view of downtown Seattle. The food was delicious and at a good price (I ordered the half bacon spinach salad, good portion, for $ 6). Everyone is very friendly and professional.

Exceptional service. Showed up with a buddy without a tee time during a busy day. They were able to squeeze is in within 15 minutes of arrival. Staff is very nice and helpful.

I had a great time here on a Thursday morning. Coming from the draught ridden Bay Area, it was refreshing to see green fairways, green trees. The course has some challenging holes, with hills and narrow fairways. Some greens had a cliff and if one shoots it past it (like i did on the 10^th) you’re in a it of trouble. Friendly staff! Fantastic time here!

New driving range just opened up last Saturday. Brand new mats and Srixon range balls, and heaters. Lower and upper deck stalls available.
I think it was a soft opening because the restaurant and the putting greens are not open yet. I would recommend they put benches to sit on and yardage listing for the target greens in the range stall area by grand opening time.
Overall, nice improvement and glad it has finally re-​opened.

Intermixing foot golf and golf at the same time on intersecting fairways is unsafe and a recipe for frustration for everyone. Who thought this was a good idea?

Excited when the new driving range is built bc the current temp range is absolute junk. The mats are rock solid. Don’t use the range here until the new one is completed. Waste of money.
For ranges, go to UW or interbay.
Course is in decent shape but on 11^th hole it’s a temp green.

I’m not an experienced golfer, but the prices for their driving range were good, and if you spend time on the range around sunset you are treated to a beautiful view of the Seattle skyline as the sun goes down. The clubhouse offers a good variety of food, and I never pass up a chance to indulge in a big basket of their made-​to-​order crispy seasoned french fries (for only $ 5.00). Great place to come on a sunny Sunday.

Great spot for golfing in the Seattle sun! I’ve only hit up the driving range so far but I spotted a short nine, a full 18 hole course and even a lawn bowling area.
Prices for buckets of balls at the range were super cheap and lots of lanes were open on a sunny Sunday evening. No wait to play at all.
It’s been a few years since I’d been to a range so I’ve got a lot of practice ahead of me. I’ll definitely come back here to get my swing back in shape. In fact, I noticed that M-​F they have special discounts on buckets of balls before (10am?) and after 8pm.

Love the trails for walking here! I could never get tired of the scenery you get from the highest point. I can see my house from there! :)
They really did an amazing job with this park. The slides, ziplining and swings are perfect for the kiddos.
I really wish that they would remodel the Golf Club House… food in there is mediocre at best. And it feels dirty inside.

I am a beginner, and doing a tour of the 9 hole course in Seattle area. This 9 hole is a little less kept then Jackson (which isn’t luxury or anything). Do keep in mind we hit this in November, so some rainy weeks may have taken their toll.
The holes are pretty straight and wide for the most part, which is great for beginner. There are mild up/​downhill slopes, and varying distance to mix it up a bit. The progression of holes is a bit confusing with some missing directions, number, distance. As result we played 9^th hole when we should’ve been at 3^rd.
The gal at register was a bit rude. She was counting cash while I stood to pay for literally minutes. I had booked online for tee time, which apparently you don’t need to do for 9hole. She told me, as if I was an idiot, you don’t need to reserve for 9 hole. That was annoying

Nice to play in Seattle. The fairways were a little rough but overall ok.

This is a nice course on Beacon Hill south of Downtown Seattle. It is a wide open course that is pretty straight forward from tee to green without to many challenges. Aside from a few hills on the back nine it seems very vanilla. As a beginner this was a nice change of pace from the challenges of another nearby muni at West Seattle. Now that course was though!

Growing up in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, I’ve passed this golf course at least 5 times a day.
I used to go to their driving range to hit a bucket of balls, but this was my first time actually walking out on the course.
My niece plays in the Bogey Bear and was doing her usual Saturday morning practice. My cousin decided to pick me up and come along and we walked the 9-​hole course. It was a beautiful day, BUT I was surprised with how the course was at the 9-​hole. Being a golf course that’s been here nearly my whole life, I was surprised at the 9-​hole course being really dry and ugly. How do you expect to play a good game when the grass is yellow and dying?! Isn’t the grass to be green and evenly cut?! I didn’t like it at all.

Very low-​key muni course. Love that they have a driving range and can’t believe there are so many courses in the Seattle Metro area without one. Also love the the range is lit and open late. I plan to go back many times this summer.

Average municipal inner-​city golf course. Not especially challenging by any means, fairly flat (easily walkable), no real obstacles (a few sand traps here and there). Good course for beginners, seasonal golfers and kids. If you’re a decent golfer looking for a somewhat challenging course within the city, try West Seattle instead.
It’s easy to get to, and you don’t have to travel much to find it. It’s nice for a quick afternoon of ⁹⁄₁₈ holes if you just simply have the itch to play golf, but don’t want to pay big bucks for some holes.
They do have a driving range, putting green, as well as an additional executive 9-​hole, par-​three course.
Fair price on accessories such as balls, gloves. I paid about $ 1.50 less for a sleeve of balls than I would have at a lot of other locations.
Originial home course of tour golfer Fred Couples, which is pretty cool.
