8 reviews for Jackson Park Golf Club
This is a Seattle City course (run by parks & rec) which means it's reasonably priced and you'll feel right at home if you aren't too concerned about tracking your handicap. That is not to say there aren't great golfers here, just plan on a few extra minutes per round since the majority of the players are learning, just like you and me. :)
They have some hills which make for a few more interesting holes. I enjoyed all the foliage and thought the course was scenic. The front nine is a little loud as you play by I-5, but on the flip side it means Jackson Park is very convenient to get to.
You can call in your food for the turn (they even have a menu posted after the 9th tee box) and I would highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches. That could have been the hangover talking...but regardless the bacon and egg on a bun really hit the spot!

the waits here are unbearably long. there is no ranger, or if there is, all he/she does is nothing. i really love golfing, but a 6 hour round is unbearable, waiting for every @#$! shot. worst of all, the other day i was 2 min early for a 7:15 am tee time, and the jerkoff kid in the proshop cancelled my tee time and copped a $hithead attitude about it. i mean, jesus h. bald-headed christ, you guys pack the course so tight that i have to wait on every single hole, but then you cancel my tee time because i'm 2 min early instead of 15? dude, it's not my fault if you don't like your job. i didn't pick it for you. maybe you need to go to remedial pro shop school to learn customer service. anyway, Todd at Jefferson Park was able to squeeze me and my friend in 45 min later when Jerky McJackass at Jackson told me the earliest he'd let us on was 9:45.
the course itself is all right. not bad for a muni, but west seattle has nicer views and a higher slope rating. jefferson is cool cuz that's where Freddy Couples used to jump the fence to sneak on when he was a kid.
This one of 4 muni courses in the Seattle. The course is not in the best shape. This course is very crowded, and the course shows it. Fairways are a little chewed up, and the greens are in decent shape. This is good course for beginners. But due to the amount of traffic this course sees a beginner may not be able to play at a comfortable pace. Staff is nice, but this is not the best muni course in the area. I recommend West Seattle.
Where i take out frustrations on a little golf ball.....nice course...decent price......cold beer in clubhouse....get to shock people with my golf wardrobe....and hey 2 blocks for my home....
One of the better public courses in the seattle area....and carolines tavern is down the street if your round goes shitty

Nice driving range and a full 18! and a Pub what more could you need to release some tension? Great two story driving range which is heated and covered. They also have a put-put course. I love going to hit a bucket of balls and drink a few beers. Nice there is a public place to swing around large metal golf clubs while drinking alcoholic beverages.
$14 for 18 and $8.50 for 9!
Hey for a pub-links what do you want? I love this place, many fond memories of teeing off for the very first time with my buds. Needless to say I learned how to say "FOUR!" real quick, my tee shot off the first tee almost killed a foursome on the 9th green!! YIKES!
For the price you get plenty of challenging golf, and for the newbies the short 9 is fun to play. Go in the off season for a cheap tune up as the course is usually pretty dry. Back nine is nice and has a few decent views away from the main roads and the freeway.

Okay, it's not Augusta National or Sahalee here but it's not bad at all. Jackson is a nice public course that won't set you back 100 bones to play golf. And, the course is laid out so you are less likely to get skulled by Roscoe's shank from the adjoining fairway.
Get out there early in the summer and you'll find a course in great shape with good greens that will test you a little so your not banging driver-sand wedge into every green (as is the case with some other publinks around here).
You can make tee times online which is nice and they also allow 9 hole green fees. If you have an early tee time you get a discount.
Slow moving foursomes made my visit here way too long. Maybe they never heard of "play through". Nice course despite all that.
