You donāt have to be a Tiger Woods wannabe to enjoy Seattle’s municipal golf courses. Whether you’re a casual golfer who enjoys hitting the links every now and again, or someone who has never picked up a club before, there’s something out there for everyone.
The greens in West Seattle, at Beacon HillāsĀ Jefferson Park, and atĀ Jackson ParkĀ in North SeattleĀ allĀ offer traditional courses with 18 holes. TheĀ Interbay Golf Center, meanwhile, has a 9-hole par 3 course and driving range ā and aĀ mini golf courseĀ thatās home to aĀ Putts & Pints summer league.
If your priority isĀ just getting some fresh air and socializing ā not, you know, golfing ā theĀ Green Lake Pitch ānā Putt is the course for you. Itās the type of place where kids are welcome and no one will notice if you completely miss the ball while teeing off. (Been there, done that.) They also rent golf clubs and balls for $1.
Hand-eye coordination not your fore-te? Jefferson ParkāsĀ āfoot golfā courseĀ combines golf and soccer into a casual activity thatās perfect for catching up with friends. Argyle sweater vests are optional.
