Jackson Park Golf Course Reviews

Here for PGA Jr. Excellent program, nice double decker driving range.

Fun place to play can you get very crowded on a summer day be ready for some * 5 Hour round but it's still a great course

Best place for all level of players, I started playing here when I was shooting over 100 and still shooting consistently mid 80s. Great practice facilities with a brand new and awesome golf range. And don't forget the party 3 course great for family and kids, and also well maintained for a pat 3 course.

And I know people like to golf but it is so awesome in the winter it's so cool to slide down there once the stuff's all the snow is so cool I've snow I've slaved there since I was 10 and I'm 45 now.

Back nine Is not dry. Too rigid with cart path only on front 9, that is basically dry. I was not impressed with crew or course.

Accessible, free parking, good 18 holes, good for learning on the short 9 course

Who likes drinking a beer at the driving range?? I know I do, so I always opt for the bucket and beer! The price is less than other local driving ranges and they throw in a draft brewski...SOLD!! Facilities are top notch! Thursday nights is 80s rock night so expect to be practicing with the awesome sounds of guns and roses, Eddie money, Aerosmith, etc.! Upper level always seems to be empty- kid friendly!! Love it here!!

Andrew Jackson was a slave owner and this golf course refuses to change their name. Get with the times.

Crowded but good price and good course. Fast greens.

Fun 9 hole Par 3 course. Challenging full 18 course.

friendly staff. heated driving range and good prices.

Fun golf course. Nice staff. Great driving range. Greens are excellent.

Pretty good course. Well kept up and plays long. Always have a great time when playing

Great and Unique golf course! Elevation, and wind make it challenging even at just over 6,000 yards.
New updated driving is now featuring TopTracer technology with 30+ screens!

I only went to for a jumbo bucket of balls. When they provided me with a free beer my afternoon was made.

Get there early before the ball machine breaks or else you won t be able to hit balls. Don t get a range card because then they won t reimburse for wasting your time. I m here over 3x a week and the ball machine is an issue 50% of the time. Starting to think I ll take my 50 bucks a week to Puetz

Tommy in the pro shop was super helpful and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended if you need anything!

Jackson has a new greenskeeper and their staff is very excited about all the new enhancements. Don't let the yardage fool you as this is a tricky and challenging track. Hence the slow play at times.

Short, value golf course, good for beginners to practice.

The staff are really friendly and they have some really good deals. I love coming here on my day off to practice on the driving range.

Course is in great shape but the greens are still lacking. Several dead spots and 1 green that is shut down completely

My home course growing up serves an even better purpose in winter. Sled, ski or snowshoe, just get out and enjoy winter when it comes

Fun & challenging and walkable layout, consider carrying more balls then usual if you aren't always on point. 9-hole Par3 course available to tune your iron and putting game.

What a fun little course! Very under-rated. Just don't play after a lot of rainy days. But overall, it holds up very nicely. I can't believe no one has recommended this golf course to me earlier!! It's a very fun course and not something you expect out of a muni. Had a blast and everyone there was great. Definitely a 5 star experience! Will be coming back... in the spring and summer haha.

Parts of the course I love. Other parts are not very well maintained. Some pretty slow rounds out there and marshals who seem to be there and do nothing to improve the pace.

The hills and valleys on first 9 make for very weird holes

They should care more about the surrounding. I saw at least 3 dead mice on the side walk.
But I like the trail and the course inside are nice.

Great course, well maintained, and surprisingl affordable!

always nice and friendly proshop staff members especilly in the morning Th ey are excellent in following safety guidelines such as mask,sanitzer etc.. and also well maintaines public golf course. i always a greatimes here..

Great old muni course with lots of charm, character, and challenge.

Great 18 hole par 5, short par 3 9 hole, pro on site, driving range

Great choice for . Regular 18 is about $2 a hile and par3 course is .50 a hole...

A "twisty", "hilly" public golf course that is great to practice various shots. Jackson is also one of the 3 public courses during the Seattle Amateur.

I enjoy playing here because it is close and cheap. The course is actually in good shape as well.

This course was beautiful! Some of the holes were surprisingly hard, but so worth it.

A nice course for beginners and very close to I5. Great new driving range

Great public course... hate playing... always wins!!

It's not a destination clubhouse, but it's not "run down". It's clean and in a 1930's building, very vintage. Besides, are you looking to golf or hang out in the pro shop? The driving range is brand new, and the course improvements of the past few years have dramatically enhanced the play. For the price, length, and proximity for city dwellers, it's a great option.

Fun municipal course. Conditions can vary and wait times can be long but that s expected for a muni. They always have different deals daily which is great.

96 dollars PLUS TAX to play twilight with cart for 2 players (13 holes) on a sunday for a dried out course where every fairway is concrete. LOL

Soggy in the winter, dry and brown in the summer. They are currently following covid safety guidelines with shields in front or registers, mask, and sanitizer.

The perimeter trail is fairly well maintained, but watch out for flooding after heavy rains. There are about three active or abandoned homeless camps near the trail.

It's my current favorite running trail, primarily due to the proximity to my house. Good hills and no ankle-breaking holes or roots.

The city should get it together and reinvest some money to improve the grounds. They have a wonderful property but even in a boom time like this refuse to see these hidden gems. I don't blame the folks trying it's mainly the city that doesn't care and would rather make them homeless camps.

It may not be the best course in the city (check out the West Seattle Golf Course for that distinction) but Jackson hole is certain second best. This course was renovated a few years back for added improvements on the first nine holes. So if you haven't been out to Jackson in while, give it a try, and see what you think about the changes. A side bonus is the short nine at Jackson, which is perfect for beginners just getting a feel for the game. The one caveat - be ready to have some ear plugs on hand forthe front-nine when you face all that noise from bordering Interstate - 5.

Walking Trail Review: I've been walking this since before it officially opened and my excitement in a neighborhood walking trail is turning to disgust with the number of homeless camps along the way. Trees are being damaged, garbage is being strewn and I no longer feel safe to walk parts of the the trail. I know the problem is complex, but a couple of tents tucked into the trees have become half a dozen encampments damaging the environment.

The executive course's greens are almost unplayable. I know the par three isnt your moneymaker but a little bit of attention to the greens would be nice. Literally craters all over the place.

Love playing on the back 9 growing up, never did the fill 18, but the 9 was great for me as a kiddo.

I've been here several times to play; it's not the closest to me so I don't get here too often. The first time was in the dead of summer and I must say the grass burns out (given amount of play and heat) and makes for a very tough course to play. You can hit a perfect fairway shot, and if there's even a minor slope it'll go bouncing off into the "rough". Recently I played again, in the winter, and even with frosty conditions the course played much better (albeit somewhat soggy on the back 9). For a muni course, it's a pretty interesting one, and the holes definitely are more interesting than the back and forth corridors at Jefferson, for example. Expect play to be slow, and on a weekend, likely a 5 hour round due to slow play and lack of a ranger policing it. But for the cost, it ain't bad.

Jackson Park does the best they can with the incredibly limited resources available to them. The new(ish) range is nice, the balls are in good shape and prices for buckets are fair. All of the staff, pro shop, range, and restaurant are helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a good selection of libations and snacks, and a TV. The 9 hole executive course is deceptively challenging, fun for the kids, but in pretty rough shape with shaggy, weed-dappled greens.

Unfortunately, due to the accessible price point and lack of other public options nearby, Jackson draws "golfers" who have no respect for the course, the game, or other golfers. Pace of play is often miserably slow. There's no sand available to fill divots so the fairways and, even worse, the tee boxes are a disaster. It seems few people playing this course are familiar with a green repair tool or how to use it. The poor course gets beat up because some "golfers" simply don't care. Yeah, I'm looking at you, four guys who broke covid rules and created a foursome with four carts, got drunk on the illegal booze you smuggled in, played like complete idiots, backed up 5 twosomes behind you, and all shook hands at the end of the round. Please never golf again.

It's sad to see the course abused but I'll keep playing here and fixing 5+ ball marks on every green. Please endeavor to do the same so we can all enjoy this public park.

my high school team plays her for all its matches and I liked playing it every time. The driving range is a great addition to the course. unlike the UW driving range, the lefties don't have to worry about hitting a heater above them.

Worst I've seen Jackson in years. There is a pallet on four fairway. Exposed wires on six. Temp Green on two. Sad

I love going to the driving range and also enjoying a beer!

I personally have not used this golf course myself but you know others that have used it and they like it because they go back to it! I am not much of a golfer myself do I care for it but I would recommend this place because of other people that I know that I've been here and they do too!

Very run down clubhouse, parking lot, restaurant, etc. Newer driving range building (have not used). I take my kids here for the par 3, which is about what you would expect. It is in average shape and could use some TLC around the greens and tee boxes.

Full course is also what you would expect from a municipal course.

Staff is always nice.

If you aren't too pretentious, you can have a good time here.

Tough track for a muni. Get's backed up quickly and often. Good folks in the clubhouse. Generally looking at a five hour round, sometimes 5.5 hrs. Par 3 gets busy and sometimes in poor shape. Recently built driving range with an upper deck. Never seems to get that busy, but I typically go to Interbay or Jefferson.
Once saw a guy toe a ball that bounced off a tee box marker and flew 40 yards to the back tee box. I will always remember that.

Local favorite - enjoy the unique course layout...you don't need your driver until hole 5!

Poor conditions and staff is completely hit or miss.

I went here for the first time the other week, and learned a life lesson. Don't ever walk a course you have never played on the first time you play it. This course has some interesting holes, but is BRUTAL to walk. Was a big mistake. Also, I felt it was a little expensive for the experience, but some people may feel it's fair. Nice staff.

Good course, enjoy playing it. Some challenging holes but not too hard.

Unforgiving course but a nice retreat right here in the city.

Great customer service from the whole staff, from the pro shop to the restaurant and even the greens keepers. Challenging course with tight fairways. Be prepared to lose some golf balls.

Tough Greens and All were in great shape. Very Quick and Challenging. Fairways were spotty but nothing to complain about. Hilly and beautiful.

I loved the perimeter trail. Well maintained and a fun walk.
