I went here in hopes of buying my daughter her first club set.

I had no idea a cool, retro-vibe oasis, complete with a stunning view of the Seattle Skyline in the…read morebackground, and a lush, undulating golf-course in the foreground, existed anywhere in the Seattle area, so color me happy to have discovered just that at Glen Acres Golf and Country Club. My fiancé and I were fortunate enough to move into one of the townhouses right on the course and as we've been getting settled in and dealing with a remodel, we have been thrilled to have the services available to us within the clubhouse. (Here's my disclaimer - I'm not reviewing my personal experience golfing, just the community and Country Club. I see a LOT of happy golfers every single day sun up to sun down outside my windows though and I plan to take lessons here so I'll update my review to include that in the future) The food and entertainment services at Glen Acres is excellently handled by Jason Winniford who makes it his mission to provide excellent customer service to both the resident guests who dine regularly in the dining room or lounge, as well as the special event guests who book the facilities for special celebrations, wedding, and parties. The amazing Yonna (not sure of the spelling but it rhymes with Donna) takes care of the guests in the lounge and makes the drinks behind the bar most days and she calls every guest by name it seems. She pours an excellent drink (I love her extra dirty martinis) and provides excellent service whether we are dining in or calling in a last minute order to be picked up. In fact as I'm writing this review I'm wondering if I should be keeping this hidden gem hidden for my own personal pleasure. Then again, a large part of the appeal of Glen Acres is the sense of community one feels upon entering the facility. And speaking of facility, the clubhouse itself is GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS and the rates to rent the facility and catering services are an unbeatable value. Really, there is NO place like this. Now - this isn't a place for slouchy, long baggy shorts or pants for males, nor shorty, short shorts or skirts for females. There's actually an expected, respectable manner of dress here and even on the golf course so this isn't the place to pop into wearing anything where the top of your bum or the bottom of your bum is exposed. In a nutshell, Glen Acres has an air of times long past when people were nice to each other, meals shared with friends and family had significance, and loud laughter erupted regularly. The food is good, the service even better, and the view cannot be matched.

Four stars for the experience at Rusty Putter but definitely five stars for the dinner service…read moreafterward! I came to a small class reunion here on the same day as a Scottish wedding and a high school homecoming dinner. Several of us paid to play mini golf at The Rusty Putter beforehand. You're basically paying for the view as the outdoor terrain didn't exactly feel well maintained and the wind on the vista messes with your shot (we quickly decided that no one was playing to score). It was quite cold and blustery that afternoon, and we managed to finish right at the start of some rain showers. Throughout the game, I couldn't help admiring the high school girls flitting about, clearly freezing in their tiny homecoming dresses and sandals while trying to look cute for pictures. For such a busy crowded venue on a Saturday night though, shoutout to our waiter at Calcutta Grill who attended to our group of about a dozen diners. Food and drink all came out at a reasonable pace, and he cleaned as he went so the table wasn't too crowded with extra dishes. I was a little annoyed that both drinks I tried to order had to be denied at first (they don't make house made cherry cordial for their Cherry Ricky anymore and was missing Midori for the 10 Under Par cocktail) but they ended up finding the Midori after all. I loved the freshness and variety of seasonal vegetables and mushrooms in my pasta, made very filling and umami with a generous Parmesan cream sauce, which also paired wonderfully with the bright fruity cocktail. Plus our group shared the burrata and calamari appetizers which came out delicious and at the perfectly appropriate temperature. They settled our bills individually as well, then helped take a picture of us before we left. For such a busy eventful day, they still took the time to treat us like five star guests. I don't have many reasons to visit a golf club, but I'm glad I came here!

Eating brunch at the Newcastle Golf Club on a clear day overlooking Lake Washington, Bellevue, and Seattle just puts a smile on your face! Also we really love the brunch. The parm truffle fries are great, and for me I love the eggs Benedict. The menu isn't large, but everything on it was great. The server each time we were there has been top notch and really enhanced the experience! This has become a go to spot and can't wait to come back closer to summer! I would imagine it's to die for then! It's a tad on the pricy side but it's well worth it.

Im new to the sport of disc golf and have played three courses yer to date. Moses lake, Cle Elum…read moreand here. This is by far the best of the three. Having the pro shop on site for questions and trying new discs is a large plus. I played with my wife seven year old son and toted my 3month old son with us and had a great time. Everyone we ran into on the course was very friendly. The field is very well maintained and they have a good kids park as well. Just playing on the two sets of practice baskets to warm up for the actual game is a great time. This course has definitely made this a family bonding sport for my family. Finding things you can do as a family is one of the most important thing's in life in my opinion. I'm sure this is a good sport to just get away from the family from time to time as well to just breath and take in the beauty of nature.

AKA Ralph Williamson Memorial Disc Golf Course (was renamed)…read more Excellent course, a lot of fun. Low down is, there are lots of elevation shots, wooded areas but no tunnel shots, nice signage, clear paths, benches, and beautiful scenery. Not beginner friendly. Yes, can be cart friendly, but there are some places where you will be pulling up a steep incline. Now for the deets... You will need UDisc to navigate this course or play with a local. The signage at each tee is nice, but does not tell you which pin position the basket's in. Many of the baskets are not visible from the tee, so you end up guessing where to drive. It would be nice if the signage showed the pin position. On most baskets, there are directional arrows pointing you to the next tee. And on some of the signage, it also show what direction to take for the next tee. That said, on many tees, you could spend some time looking for them. Use UDisc. I played in a drizzle and hardly anyone was in the park, so I can't comment on safety or how busy the park is. However, the baskets are DGA Mach 5 baskets, so 24 strands of lighter heavy duty links. These baskets have no colored band and so are grey. In a grey, overcast Seattle drizzle. Good thing it isn't very overcast here many days. [sarc] Therefore, it is difficult to see the basket. Pink, red streamers hanging from the basket would help immensely. On a few baskets, putting a fiberglass pole with a red triangle flag would be helpful as you cannot see the basket at all from the tee due to elevation, or a hill in the way. This is not for beginners, at least if they do not want to become frustrated. It seemed like most of the throws are long due to the elevations. For example, #9 is "only" 251' but you are driving up a 40'-50' hill. Many throws are like that. There are a couple, like #10, I think, that throws you off because even though there was only slight wind, there are clearings in through some trees where you have a head wind, and of course, sends your disc upward. This happened twice. This is a very clean park. There was no trash of any kind that I saw. A very pleasant outing in a picturesque park setting. There is a playground with minimal playground equipment. There is also a neat bike/tricycle track for little kids at the park. Brick restrooms are open in the spring and summer, port-a-potties otherwise. Benches behind most of the tees. I would give 5 stars if they would improve visibility of the baskets and indicate pin positions. There is supposed to be a pro shop on site, but I have no clue where that is. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Disc golf is the type of sport that looks like it was created in the Bed-Stuy projects. Everything…read moreis rusty, the "holes" are chain links, there is dog crap everywhere, and the trash is overfilled with cheap beer. This was my second time playing, and the first at North SeaTac Park. I'm pretty good at Disc Golf, and by good I mean bad, and by pretty I mean hideous. I'm hideous bad at Disc Golf. Playing this game is humbling because I rock the shizzle out of pretty much everything else in life, including spelling words all gangsta-like. I'm terrible at this. I'm like construction paper. North SeaTac is supposed to be some expert course, because there are trees pretty much everywhere. The park used to be so difficult that some golfer snuck in at midnight with chainsaw and actually cut down half of the trees without city permission. The city is getting pissy and wants to retaliate by turning the land into a dog park. We broke into teams, which is designed to minimize the damage of a bad throw. Yet like a Dyson I never lost my suck, and managed to still have some pretty abysmal drives, puts, and approaches. I did avoid the mud like a champ though, and only hit nearby children in the face thrice. The park itself is in disrepair and there are very few parking spots near the first hole. The course is fun though. The trees make everyone terrible - even the players with experience. My buddies used to play every week for years, and they still went straight into the trees on several occasions, if not every hole. Neat place, I'd go again, but it would be nice if the park was more not ugly.

This is specifically a review of the softball fields. It's really nice to have 3 fields together…read morefor softball purposes, and the grass in the outfield is fairly well maintained (although the ground is uneven), but other than that the field needs a big upgrade. The dirt infields are terrible. Around the bases and home plate are like a sandbox into the 1st game of the day, let alone several games later. It's a hazard trying to run around the bases here because you don't know what kind of surface your foot is coming down on, and several people end up pulling or twisting something they wouldn't have if the ground was solid. Supposedly turf is a few years out (it was a few years out a few years ago too), and that'll solve these issues. But, until then it's a convenient place to play, but really not great. Also, while they have a few water fountains by the fields, none of them work. You have to walk all the way to the bathrooms by the parking lot to get water. Finally, parking can be a major issue here if there is soccer, softball, and cricket all going on (or some variation thereof). There's a ton of wasted woodchipped areas between the existing parking lot and fields that should be converted to additional parking.

Over the years the technology they use doesn't seem to be keeping up, where things will glitch causing lots of time and effort to get the tickets earned reflected on your card. Luckily we took a picture of the ticket rings that were won at the claw machine prior to adding them onto the card, but even after that, it was still a big hassle where management seemed suspicious that we were trying to dupe them out of tickets that were earned properly. What was surprising is that they didn't even bring the staff member over that scanned the ticket rings initially to confirm she had added the tickets. After adjusting the tickets, my card account was still active on the board, so I went back and checked to make sure it was closed out properly to avoid any further ticket issues. I asked the original staff member if she remembers adding my tickets, and she said she did but we should be good now as this was a system glitch. I accepted the explanation and took that as issue closure. Later when we went to pick prizes, another "lead" employee approached me (wish I would've taken her name), and immediately accused me of being rude and aggressive towards the staff member that added my original tickets. As a lead, I would have expected her to ask me if there was any issues with the employee, instead of outright accusing the customer. I asked her to clarify what was taken as rude or threatening, as I never raised my voice or said anything out of line even though this issue took some time to resolve. She wouldn't give me any specifics but just warned me to not be rude. Instead of getting into any further back and forth with her, I decided to just pick a few prizes and leave. I found it very unprofessional for the lead to approach me in that manner, while the Manager Tabitha didn't step in, even being close by. If something was said that was perceived as rude, let's bring everyone together and hash it out. I can guarantee *God as my witness* that I never said anything offensive, threatening, or rude to any of the staff members. All I did was provide details and proof that there was a system glitch and the tickets that had previously been added were not on the card. At no point did I ever blame or fault anyone at FFC for this issue. Rich Yee, if you'd like to discuss this matter with me directly please reach out.

I see the reviews are mixed for Chambers Bay, most complaining about the greens. I played it for…read morethe first time yesterday - have replaced the fescue with poa annua greens (I understand that they didn't seed but put down mat like turf) - no complaint here - I loved the greens, the roll was just as you would read them! My complaints are rather petty, so I'll get them out of the way first. I called the for reservations the day before and spoke to Ashley. I told her I was in Puyallup visiting my son and wanted to play CB. She was very nice, quoted me a price of $125 plus $55 for rental clubs. I wanted to play early and she said I walk on any time between 7 and 8, but reserved me a time for 8 just in case. I arrived at the course at 7, they had no record of me and charged me $155 plus the $55 for clubs. I mentioned Ashley's quote, but to no avail - I paid to play, but kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Second complaint - I was the first one off playing by myself - the walk between 3 green and 4 tee is rather long and all up hill - starter told me that there would be someone there to give me ride to 4 - he said the person knew I was out there and would be waiting. No one was there! So I walked it - kind of played havoc with these 78 year old legs. I told the starter and the person in the pro shop, but they just laughed. Third complaint - this one is really picky. It is true that the greens are fabulous, but the fairway are in pretty poor conditions in some places - its more aesthetic than problematic, but you can get some pretty skinny lies from good shots. That's it for the complaints. Now the good stuff - the entire staff, from the pro shop to the bus driver (they have to drive you down into the "pit" from the pro shop to the first tee), to the starter are dedicated to giving you a first class golfing experience. Complimentary driving range available (though we were hitting off of mats - not their fault, just course maintenance) and a huge putting green. The Starter explained the peculiarities of the course and how to play them - AND he was correct! Everything breaks from the hill to the bay - that means fairways and greens,so if you allow for it the course play easier. I ran into an employee on the course a couple of times (not the guy what was supposed to give me a ride) and was very friendly and explained how to play certain holes - great guy, wish I could remember his name! The course is really wide open, fairways are wide and void to trees, greens are huge a pretty receptive (if you remember the break). The course's only defense is the "mounds" covered with "sea grass" that define almost every hole and the copious amount of bunkers and traps (I'm pretty sure there are probably the bones of golfers in some of them - people who got in and could never get out), but the sand is really nice and fairly easy to handle, even for a hack like me (that is, except for the 9th which took me three strokes!) Would I play it again? You bet! Next time I'll bring my clubs and my cart. O, by the way, it is a walking only course and it is 6 miles around and really tired me out _ wasn't sure if I going to make it on the 18th, which led to a double bogey! One more thing. I ate lunch at the restaurant after my round. A beer, burger and shoestring fries - they were great! So kudos to the entire staff of Chambers Bay (except for the guy who was supposed to give me a ride) - you provided me with a wonderful experience. Thought I was done, but I would be remiss if I did not mention of CB's greatest offerings - the views! Almost every hole gives you a stunning view of the bay (or maybe its the Sound) and the Olympic Mountain's - some times it is difficult to concentrate on golf with so much beauty surrounding you. Okay, that's it.
