Description

American Lake Veterans Golf Course in Lakewood, Washington is a uniquely mission-driven 18-hole course designed to serve and honor U.S. veterans. The front nine offers a tree-lined, traditional feel, while the back nine—designed by Jack Nicklaus—introduces more open, links-style terrain. The course plays to a par 71 and spans just over 5,700 yards, making it approachable for golfers of all skill levels. Thoughtfully designed with ADA accessibility in mind, it includes adaptive features like specialized carts and bunker access. Operated largely by volunteers, the course provides a peaceful and supportive environment that blends therapeutic recreation with high-quality golf.

I've been coming here over a decade & I am amazed of the beautiful people, golf course conditions & price. Absolutely hands down a perfect track for all levels. My thanks goes out to all the volunteers. Also Jack Nicholas designed the back nine and refurbished the front so that says a lot. Thank you American Lake, you saved my life literally ❤️

Very rude guy at the front desk. I've been golfing there for over a year now. My sponsor just checked in 5 minutes prior to me , so as I went to check in and guy in green behind the counter was very short and said " Get your sponsor to check you in or you could go" (meaning you can leave) I mentioned I've been playing here with my sponsor for over a year. " He said I can get you barred from here. I can pull the book out if needed very rude. I get the rules , just treat people with dignity and respect man. Whatever frustrations your having in your own life, remember we are all people. Treat others as you want to be treated. I gave him a pass this time but next time if your rude like this , sounds like we'll have words man to man. Overall course great! Just be aware of the 1 rude guy at the counter who wants to exert his terrible days on you.

I love playing out there. Everyone is always friendly and the volunteers are great. Course is always well kept and very pristine. Greens roll real good and keep you guessing all the time. Will continue to be a member there!!!

I usually don’t post google reviews, but the customer service at this course was so frustrating that I wanted to share. I was first told to show my drivers license to the Course Marshall while I was loading my golf clubs. I thought it was rather ridiculous because I’m 21 and he kept insisting that I seemed to be young for my age. Secondly the pace of play was horrible it took an hour and a half to play 3 holes. The Course Marshall is there to ensure that the pace of play is on time. If you are a golf fanatic and attempting to play local courses, I suggest passing this course. Overall, the customer service is poor and the pace of play was incredibly slow.
