Comments: Without a doubt this is my favorite golf course in the area. It is long, hazards, water. Everything you want that makes a golf course fun to play. It is worth every cent and if you have an oki card it is even a better deal. It is always in fantastic condition with immaculate greens. I highly recommend WA National if you are looking for a new home course. I would play there every week if I could

Comments: Tapps island is a really fun course. Reasonably priced and has great views of lake Tapps and my. Rainier. Worth the drive out there to play. Tucked pins and undulating greens make this relatively short course very challenging. Well placed hazards make it seem like a much longer course than it actually is. I have played here several times and highly recommend it.

Comments: Northshore is an ok little course. It is a little pricey for my taste. There is nothing spectacular about it, but at the same time it isn't underwhelming either. For the same price I can find courses in the area that I like much better.

Comments: Very difficult course. Lined by a ton of trees, make sure and bring your punch shot. Narrow fairways and fast greens make this a very difficult course. I got on with a member for 75 dollars and it was worth very penny. It is a private course, so if you get the opportunity I highly recommend playing it.

Comments: Chambers Bay is one if the best courses in the NW. It has everything you could ask for. Challenging par 3's, long par 5's and many challenging par 4's. Set on Puget Sound, it has great views. I paid 140 to play and while it isn't a course I will play monthly. I will definitely play annually. You do have to walk the course and have the option for a caddy.

Comments: Very challenging and fun golf course. Plenty of risk/reward shots. The Par 3's are all challenging. 3 are guarded by water. The greens rolled great and had a lot of variance to make putting a fun challenge.
