Improve Your Golf Game at These South Seattle Golf Courses

I don't always play the same local golf course every time I play golf. The reason is that the South Seattle area has quite a number of really terrific and affordable local golf courses. Here is a list of my favorite South Seattle Golf courses and an explanation about what makes them a challenge worth exploring.

South Seattle Local Golf Course with the Most Uphill Cardio Benefits

West Seattle Golf Course [ http://www.seattlegolf.com/west-seattle.php ] is a local course with the second best view, this one takes in down town Seattle and Elliott Bay. The golf course winds back and forth along a hillside in West Seattle and if walked, you're sure to improve your overall physical condition. It also has old chestnut trees well loved by the squirrels. The golf course mascot comes from the red fox occasionally spotted on the grounds. The snack shop has pretty good sandwiches and the usual hotdog, muffin treats. The most challenging holes are the par four fourth hole that travels uphill and is quite long, the par five twelfth hole that crosses a creek, travels downhill steeply, then ends on the top of another hill, and the par three thirteenth hole that crosses a deep gulch.

South Seattle Local Golf Course with Varied Fairway Lies and Hazard Mix

Auburn Golf Course recently underwent reconstruction of many of their fairways, greens, and tee boxes which makes them very nice to play. A new clubhouse was also built. I haven't tried the new restaurant but it is often full. The par three sixteenth hole is this local golf course's signature hole, where golfers drive over the lake with the sideline out of bound woods onto a narrow green backed by a picturesque fountain. The gardens are often in bloom and it happens to be one of the few places where you can find a wood duck in residence. The golf course climbs up about 300 ft on the eleventh hole [making it tough for some elderly to walk], then continues above until the fifteenth. The deepest sand pit on any local course is found on the seventh hole. The good variety of fairway lies and good mix of hazards are key feature of this popular and older South Seattle golf course.

South Seattle Local Golf Course with the Most Water Hazards and Best Practice Facility

Sumner Meadows [http://www.golfsumnermeadows.com/ ] is often my favorite local golf course to lose balls into the many wetlands left intact. Surrounded on the seventh and eighth hole by the Green River, with ponds on many of the other holes, water provides some peeks at local ducks and coyote babies last year. The pros are very helpful about explaining flag placement and how to select the proper tee for your game. Recent additions of several more outhouses have improved many players disposition. A natural green driving green, sand pit practice area and putting green make this a great local golf course to practice your game. The small snack shop keeps the hunger away.
