Tumwater in April

Over all, ok. Wet fairways in 20% of area. Green nice but bumpy in most greens. Some rough areas were longer than normal because I think it was too wet to cut and balls were hard to find sometimes. Drainage is the only drawback on this course. Everything else is great.

Tumwater Valley Golf Course always challenging

Once again the Tumwater Valley Golf Course (TVGC) has proven to be a great course and continues to challenge me. I am admitibly a frustrated high handicap 76 year old, so you can guess how much experience I have at playing golf. But, this public course does present a real challenge and delivers a quality experience.

slow play

we waited a minimum of 5 minutes at each tee box. play was so slow that we quit after hole 14 close to 4 hours into the round . had we continued, it would have been well over a 5 hour round!

Perfect weather for a round

It looked ominous but stayed dry while we were there, a bit windy at times.
Course was in good shape, a bit wet in places but fine overall. Make sure to hit it straight because the roughs s as te pretty dense and odds of finding a ball there are low.
