I can only rate this course as a rider. The course is in good shape and is pretty. The pro shop staff were professional. The women's bathroom could have used some attention since there was fecal matter on the back of the lid. When I passed the restaurant area, I observed a lady sitting on the counter talking to a customer. This is unacceptable behavior, people eat there. The pace of play was slow as well.

I hadn’t played Lake Spanaway in over 15 years. Had the first tee time of the day on a Sunday. Received a great experience in the pro shop. Easy to check in and friendly. Overall the course was in good shape, the greens were great and the areas that shouldn’t be hit off of had been marked by a white line. Plenty of spots could have been better, but overall if you keep the ball in the fairways there won’t be many complaints. Some of the traps weren’t great, went in the edge of one and played it like I was all the way in since I was mainly in sand but there was plenty of grass near it, also terrible stance since the ball didn’t go back into the main area of the trap. I recommend playing the course. The price came to a little over $60 for 18 and a cart. Being the first group of didn’t have to worry about pace of play. There was some sort of tournament later (looked like maybe a scramble). Not sure if we saw the beverage cart because of that or it’s always out early but either way it was great to have it out that early in the morning since it seems most courses don’t.

pretty good older track which means the greens are very nice. just very very slow pace of play. people need to be aware of other golfers. if you’re a foursome with two younger players and there’s a single player behind with almost two holes open in front of you, you might think of letting that person play through instead of pretending they’re not there. just a thought.

Great place, needs updates, the driving range needs a big update. The club house needs a huge overhaul too. The golf course is nice. Would definitely play again. Pricing is fair and the people who work here are nice making it an overall good experience.

Lake Spanaway might not be a luxury course or a tour stop, but honestly, that’s part of what makes it great. It doesn’t try to be flashy — it just delivers a consistently solid golf experience at a price that feels more than fair. At around $40 a round, you’re getting a course that’s beautifully maintained, with smooth greens, great variety, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear the crew here cares about the condition of the place, and it shows in every fairway and tee box. It’s the kind of course you look forward to returning to. Whether you’re a beginner finding your rhythm or a seasoned regular chasing birdies, it hits that perfect middle ground between affordability and quality. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars — One of the best value courses in the area. Will be back!
