Nice course. Well-maintained. Great clubhouse. Solid design on holes. Has really improved in the past few years after the Greenskeeper Sabotage incident. I like the staff, the prices seem fair, and the bartenders are quick on the draw - especially if you are on the turn. Can get busy. Not a particularly easy course, but quite beautiful. You will like playing golf here.

Super friendly and helpful staff. I came from out of town so had to rent clubs, they gave me a great set to use. Course is in great shape. The greens are super fast! Would have loved to see Mt. Rainier but it was obscured that day. Will play there again.

Played Druids Glen August 14 with my wife and son. Check in was easy and the person we dealt with was very nice and friendly. Starter was very helpful and told us where to take the best pictures. Course is an excellent track, greens were very undulating and tricky, but they were rolling great. Cart girl was fantastic to deal with. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

The course was in fabulous condition. The greens were beautiful and the service was wonderful.My wife, my son and myself enjoyed the golfing experience very much. Druids Glen is a very large and challenging golf course. A few holes stand out as being exceptional. Numbers 9 and 10 as well as number 1. Winters can be very wet and the elk are murder on the course but yes they were there first. Go and play it and enjoy your round. Not the best golf value around but golf is not the cheapest sport either.

This course is busy. Long fairways with sand and water everywhere and if you are lucky enough to miss them you still have to worry about the woods. Tough course. Greens are easy to misread and a lot of the fairways, the ball is above or below your feet. If the course is slow plan on having the course police bothering you a minimum of 2 times.

Although theres a little brown out there, its too be expected this time of year. Staff was great. Greens rolled well. And thank goodness they rake the bunkers at least once a day, so your not trying to pick clean a ball off concrete. Always a pleasure playing here!

Ive played here many times over many years and the course was is terrible shape today. The fairways were wet in some spots despite no rain and just destroyed with divots and bone dry in other areas. To be fair the greens were in good condition. Overall the maintenance and condition of the course was just awful. Maybe they have just given up with the whole Covid situation.The cheaper muni courses in Seattle have been in amazing condition and they are way cheaper.Honestly I cant stress just how bad the conditions were today. I was shocked having played here many times before. For the money this was a huge mistake.I hope they figure it out because the course is solid. But to have terrible conditions right now shows that someone needs to be fired.

Well kept and not too busy. Beautiful views and more than a couple forced water carries. Price is a little high, but early bird was worth it.

Hattie was the best server/ bartender I’ve ever had. She was attentive, friendly, and overall amazing. Her drinks were great and her conversation was even better. 10/10 for service.

Very fun and challenging course. Carts have GPS, which is nice. The course is super spread out though. It would be a tough walk. My only criticism would be that the course was a little dry/dead.

Great practice facilities. Driving range is off the mats. Excellent putting and chipping areas. Lovely golf course with great challenges for all levels at a reasonable price. View of Mt Rainier on numerous holes. After golf, excellent food and beverages in a outstanding clubhouse. Outside dining available weather permitting.

Played last week and the course was in great shape (greens were a little long). We have received rain since then and the fairways were a bit soggy. However, none of my drives plugged. The greens were mowed and were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the round today even though we had very little sunshine and it was a bit nippy.

Review №36

The golf course is in excellent condition. The layout is fair and challenging. Early bird special is outstanding it is best deal in greater Seattle area. The course is 5 star I gave three for one main reason. The service is in need of help. The front desk guy was nice enough but had me wait on him to open up a second drawer not a big deal but be ready when you open not an hour after. Secondly and the reason I might not return is I played the third of September and whoever worked the blower on the front nine it was a young Male drove the machine within feet of our cart and blasted us with fresh cut grass, dirt, and sand. Amateurs man seriously where I come from he would of been fired on the spot. Absolutely ridiculous and imagine its only a matter of time before it causes a major problem.

Review №64

I had heard on the radio, specifically KJR, the radio sports station, that they have had tournaments and special events out at Druids Glen. They really built it up as a first class course. I will say that it has some interesting holes, some a little quirky. Tough to get a level lie. One of the bunkers I was in had small tufts of grass growing all through it and in another one something caught my club as I was passing through the sand. Turns out it was some kind of man made material liner. In other words, almost no sand. The greens were in pretty good shape however one would think that the golfers who played there, and who had good shots into the green, did not know that youre supposed to fix your ball mark. That one is on the players, not the course. The worst part, however, was the unkept areas in the rough. I know one is supposed to be down the middle, but even the pros get off the fairway at times. Lots of rocks, holes and bare spots were everywhere. I even had to cheat a number of times and move my ball out of these areas as I didnt want to damage my clubs. Even right around and up to some of the greens one could find this kind of terrain. The cart girl was very efficient. The people in the pro shop were nice. The price was ok, $50 with a cart at 3:30 pm. There was a nice restaurant as well. I wont be playing it again. Too far off the beaten path to go for a below average kept course. The worst part was how disappointed I was in all the hype that KJR pumps out about how great the course is. Ive played a lot of courses in the U.S. and this one wasnt the worst, by far, but it left a lot to be desired. If anyone remembers the old Spanaway course called Brookdale, and its condition, it was in better shape. Not as unique or challenging, but definitely in better shape. The Druids Glen maintenance budget must be pretty low in priority, or maybe they just dont have the money to invest in upkeep.

I would like to give a sincere, heart felt thank you to Clint Goold, General Manager of Druids Glen Golf Course for rectifying a situation that occurred last week. He took the situation and used it as an opportunity to give his staff training on how to avoid situations like that in the future. In addition to this, he took really good care of my friends and I. I am thrilled that Druids Glen has a dedicated leader such as Clint who strives to ensure every guest is treated as if they are in his own home. I believe in reaching out to those in high positions when they need to hear about what isnt going right. It allows them to make things right and improve in the future. Aside from this, the course was and is in absolute mint condition. They had their struggles a year or two ago, but since then have made a complete turnaround. I plan on becoming a member as this will be my new home course. I truly hope you all head that way soon so you can see just how amazing it is! Oh, and based on my round yesterday in the beautiful sunshine, you can thank me for freshly raking just about every bunker! I also made a large donation to almost every water feature..... !!!

Dont know what all the raving is about this place? The course to me is just OK and I definitely didnt get the warm fuzzies from the bar/restaurant personnel. At the turn I asked for a few beers from the cart lady who was stocking up and she said Im too busy getting ready and you need to go into the bar. Huh? Ill only go back if I can play for free.

Really like druids. But, no starter is a problem. We were playing around noon. While on putting green a single goes off. Followed by a twosome. Followed by a twosome. As we get ready a twosome comes upto us and tries to play in front of us. As we are also 2 I invite them too play with us or waitThey begrudgingly join us. Makes for some slow rounds. Really ridiculous. Course and food afterword were good.

The new Course Superintendent really has the course in great shape. If you played last year before the personnel change, I can understand your disappointment in the condition of the course. But please, if you are interested in playing a fair, but challenging course for reasonable money, give Druids Glen another try. I think you will agree the course is in great condition, the staff is friendly and helpful, and Green Fees are a bargain compared to courses of similar quality.While you are there -- give the Tap House Restaurant a try too. The Whiskey Chicken is my favorite.

I havent played the entire course at Druids Glen; right now I feel its best if I just practice at the driving range. The range has been better kept for the last year or so - theyve replaced the pads. Theyve also added new signage and fleet, which is nice.My husband has played here several times, and we have only a couple of concerns. First, at the driving range, management allows players to hit from the grass and not use the mats. The grass area is littered with cigarette butts and divots, so it would be ideal for management to either hire staff to clean up the area or, better yet, prohibit players from hitting from the grass.Secondly (and one of the main reasons I havent played a full round here), whenever my husband has reserved a tee time, theyve paired him with other players, even when hes asked to play solo. Its a little too pricey for us to buy out a four spot just so I can be comfortable, so at this point, Druids Glen is losing out on our money. Ive heard its a challenging course and I dont want to hold up any players we might happen to be paired with.Other than that, its a beautiful looking course.

Ok so I played 9/7/18 I had called a week in advance to book a tee time due to living out of state when making the tee time we had reserved 3 golf boards when we got there they only had one available and they didnt inform me up the additions $38 to rent the board which was the same cost of the round. So we ended up having to use the carts which was fine I guess but my cart ended up dying on hole 3. We got ahold of the pro shop with the carts GPS saying we needed a new cart. By hole 5 nothing so I called the pro shop they said they would have a cart brought out to us needles to say they never brought us a cart and finished the round with a dead cart it was the absolute worst customer care I have ever seen on a golf course I will never be playing here again

Review №85

I was shocked at the poor condition the course was in. This is normally a well kept golf course. Something happened this year (maybe all the rain) but half of the greens are almost unplayable. There are several temporary greens, one so bad it has about a 10 inch wide cup to compensate and the cart GPS gives yardage to the regular green. There was not one word of any of this when checking in. I cant believe they have the nerve to charge full price. It is no wonder there were so few people playing that day. The restaurant continues to be very good with nice staff.

Review №87

This course could be one of the best in the state. The layout is terrific, and the scenery is great. Its tucked away in the woods and had lots of challenging holes with water and heavy bunkering.But it isnt taken care of. Bunkers are never raked, whether by players or staff, it seems. The Greens are rough. Hardly any ball marks get repaired. They are lumpy and cratered all over. I cant really blame the course for that, but it has to be said.What they can control are the half drained ponds that detract from the experience. I guess there is a reason for it, but I dont know why. I havent been back in a while, but Id like to go see how the course is in the middle of the summer.

The conditions were almost good. Still a lot of bad patches in fairways and greens. What is INEXCUSABLE is the lack of drinking water out on the course. Just 4-6 water buckets. Its a health issue!

Review №93

Had our wedding at Druids Glen and I would recommend it. If youre on a tight budget this venue will be perfect for you. The only disappointments I can think of is the bride has to get ready in an office, so pictures were a little hard to take. I would recommend getting ready somewhere else and then get to the venue. Also, we were under the assumption there would be no golf that day, but there was. So you might want to warn the photographer there might be golf carts in the backround. Other than that the service was great. All the employees were very nice and helpful. The landscaping is very beautiful and makes for great pictures. Jennifer, the coordinator was great in helping plan and made sure we got everything we needed and how we wanted it. The food and drink were excellent, and they let us try all the food first before we picked out the menu. They had a great menu to choose from that was moderately priced. You also might want to hire a wedding coordinator or have a bridesmaid help coordinate the events for the day because this venue does not supply that service. All in all I was glad I chose this vendor in the end, and although there were a couple of things that bothered me I would still recommend them for your wedding.

Great little course. Only reason its a 4 is because its a little ove priced in my opinion. All the carts are set up with GPS so thats a definite plus and keeps pace of play up unless you got that guy playing in front of you that insists on using his range finder so he can Duff that 175 yard second shot 12 yards up the fairway...

This course used to be one of the top public courses in the area. Now its just another overpriced scrub course. They are blaming the course condition on the weather (very wet spring)...Im not buying it, poor maintenance and not reinvesting in the course.
