reviewer: Mike Groat from Bend, Ore

I am an out of town player who belongs to Bend G & CC in Bend, Or and I am in Olympia to visit my Son and his family quite often and we play Tumwater Valley because this is where he plays and post his hcp. I find the people friendly and the course in great shape and we can play nearly year around. Good job.

Great course for a municipal, Jun 12, 2004

reviewer: Chris Reykdal from Tumwater, WA

Tumwater Valley is an outstanding municipal golf course. It is open to the public, and yet it is not trashed like many public courses. The fairways are in great shape and the greens are even better. The front nine plays fairly wide open as it crosses over the Deschutes River. The back nine is a bit tighter with a few tree-lined fairways and some water that comes into play. The par 3 17th provides golfers with two greens to shoot for. A shorter shot with little danger or a longer shot frought with trees and trouble. Few municipal course are as nice as Tumwater Valley and the price is reasonable.

Getting Better, May 11, 2004

reviewer: Name Withheld from Walla Walla, WA USA

Not a terribly difficult course. It is improving in terms of drainage. It used to be very wet year round. If you are long off the tee, it will play to your strengths.

Mallard Head Country Club
"Best Bargin Around"
Excellent course for the average golfer to play. The condition is average, but for the price and playability you just can't beat it.

"I thought it was a great course"
Really enjoyed teeing off and playing. Everyone was nice and helpful.
---Joseph Brown, Austin, Texas
Flamingo Lakes Country Club
"4 stars for price and condition, not difficulty"
VERY short, but for under $30 all year and its great shape it is a 4 star must for golfers on a budget. Those looking for a challenge should not look here, its just a nice easy day of golf.

Bartow Golf Course
"Golfing For Par"
This Course is set out to have you playing for par rather than birdie. Tricky bunkers, well placed trees, and water make the Bartow Golf Course frustrating at times. Minor elevation changes enhance play as do friendly people. Give it a try.
