Golf
in Seattle
Known for its Jimi Hendrix connections, sloppy love films and world-renowned
coffee shops, Seattle is a city that's full of character. It is
situated at the most northern latitude of any major city in the
USA outside of Alaska. Bounded by rolling green hills, snow covered
mountains and bright blue waters, it is one of America's most beautiful
cities.
Its mild winters and relatively cool summers make the make the
city look a lush shade of green, hence its nickname 'The Emerald
City'.
Because of its climate there are a wealth of outdoor pursuits
to enjoy, including rock climbing, fishing and hiking. Of course,
no great city is complete without a number of top golf courses nearby
and Seattle doesn't let golfing enthusiasts down.
There
are plenty of public and private courses to choose from and the
tour operators listed on this page will be able to get you a tee
time and a green fee that suits your travelling party.
West Seattle is a great course with wonderful views of downtown
Seattle and Elliot Bay. Jefferson Park, in the Beacon Hill region
southwards of the city, should also be one your itinerary, as should
Jackson Park.
Once you've had you fun on the golf course take the time to visit
the sights, especially the waterfront, Ballard Locks and Shilshole
Bay Marina. |
