Golf in Seattle

Seattle is King County's metropolitan center and Washington's largest city, a Pacific Northwest metropolis defined by the combination of the technology industry, coffee culture, outdoor recreation, and the extraordinary natural setting of Puget Sound and the surrounding mountains. Multiple golf courses serve the diverse Seattle population, from the municipal courses at Jefferson Park and Jackson Park to the historic Seattle Golf Club in Shoreline. The city's varied neighborhoods and the combination of the Olympics, the Cascades, Mount Rainier, and the Sound create the setting for one of America's most distinctive urban golf environments. The Pacific Northwest's outdoor recreation culture gives golf a natural place in community life alongside the hiking, kayaking, skiing, and water sports that define the Washington lifestyle, and the local course serves as a year-round anchor for the recreational community.
