A classic layout that offers challenges to the best players, while at the same time offering a venue for all to play! The front nine meanders alongside Longfellow Creek. It has relatively flat terrain and plays to a par of 37. The back nine plays much more difficult to par(35) than the front despite being almost 300 yards shorter. You will experience countless uneven lies as the back nine is very hilly and it is the most affected part of the course when the afternoon winds pick up. It boasts the most incredible views from several holes of downtown Seattle and Elliot Bay. Come and experience a bit of Seattle's golf history at West Seattle Golf Course. "West Seattle's back side is probably one of the most beautiful nines you'll see anywhere." - Rich Beem, Winner of the 2002 PGA Championship Home of the Seattle Amateur Championship
West Seattle is the best public golf course in Seattle by a landslide. Some of the holes on the back nine rival those on private courses. Sometimes a bit crowded.

Not for Hackers
by cutebirdie
The first tee is a Par 5. Imagine that challenge; especially in light of the fact they don't have a driving range. There are two practice putting greens, and you are allowed to even chip. This course is well maintained, wide fairways, fast greens (and small on some holes), and hilly on the back 9. The pro shop needs a make-over in the worst way; and the staff needs to be friendlier. Also, this golf course has many car break-ins, so don't leave your valuables behind.
Pros: Challenging, Long course
Cons: Pro Shop; Customer Service; Bathrooms, Lounge

Everyone knows West seattle even challenges the best amateurs. Great walk for those who enjoy the fitness/and for those less hearty, get a cart. Second cut is deep in many places/keep it in the short grass and your score will will stroke your ego. Avoid in winter unless 3-4 days of non-rain.

Westside Golf's Wild
by gowoman
This was the first full "official" course I ever played, or rather it played me...The back nine was sheer torture but i managed to get through it without embarrasing myself or my partner. The 19th hole was by far my best - guess I've just had more practice there!
Pros: close to home, parking great, terrific pro shop
Cons: crowded, food not very yummy, greens O.K.
