Highland Golf Course (WA) Tee Times

Nice surprise when visiting Tacoma for the 1st time // public transportation stop right across the street from McDuffs Grill ✅ , 1st time in nearly six decades of playing golf. A $1 ORCA senior pass delivered me from N 46th & Pearl. The course is well maintained with so many beautifully landscaped yards from the adjacent homes. Big scale Pines for shade framing nearly every fairway. $24 front nine ( executive style 9 holes ), add $15 and play it again making 18. Tees are different to create slight yardage variations. A pro shop for whatever supplies, golf balls, a glove, tees, a nice shirt, etc. Few people midday as the temps were low 80's . When temps begin to drop into the high seventies the starters sheet fills up quickly ( 3:30pm ish ). Wickedly fast greens can create the " Jeeno Thitikul 4 putt syndrome " , even she Thailands golf prodigy & LPGA World # 1 in 2025 had a 4 putt on her 72nd hole which handed the Kroger Championship to Charley Hull. Four putts at Highlands are frustrating yet we won't have a million dollars on hhe line. McDuffs grill is a welcoming experience as they have a few lunch delights and beverages to satisfy both thirst & hunger. These young ladies add " Spice & conversation " to an already satisfying day on course ! Easy to return as my clubs are at the ready for week 8 of our 9 week duration here in Tacoma !

This golf course offers a fun and rewarding experience for players of all skill levels. It’s well-kept, with lush fairways and strategically placed hazards that add challenge and enjoyment. The scenic views enhance each round, making it even more enjoyable. Although the pace of play was a bit slow, the course itself remains a great choice for a fun and engaging round of golf.

Apparently under new management. The vibe of the place is top notch. For $15 a patron can receive a great golf experience. All of the tee boxes and greens are updated and look excellent. Course is in great shape compared to a year or so ago. We got coffee before our round and had great food afterwards. Just fun place to hang out now with some practice nets for warming up. Only negative was the 9th hole fountain that stole my ball! Will be back weekly. Well done new owners, looks wonderful!!

It’s under new management and boy have they done a great job! The greens are perfect. There still working on the fairways. It’s a great course for advanced players as well as experts and bringing the kids along since most the holes are under 180 yards. McDuffs café has just completed a total overhaul and is really awesome! You can’t beat the experience for $11.00.

Big improvements since I last played the course 10 years ago! Greens were good. No waits on any hole despite a lot of people playing the course. It was a fun, quick round of par 3 golf.
