Golf in Tacoma

Tacoma is Pierce County's metropolitan center and Washington's third-largest city, a port city with a working-class heritage that has been transforming its economy and identity through arts, healthcare, and technology. The University of Washington Tacoma and the Museum of Glass, the Port of Tacoma's industrial significance, and the extraordinary views of Mount Rainier from Point Defiance Park create the South Puget Sound city setting. Multiple municipal and private golf courses serve the diverse Tacoma community in the Pierce County landscape. Washington's extraordinary geographic diversity — the rain-soaked western slopes, the Puget Sound waterways, the Cascade Range's volcanic peaks, and the sun-baked eastern plateau — creates community characters as varied as the landscape, and local golf reflects each region's specific natural and economic identity.
