Lake Spanaway Golf Course

Lake Spanaway Golf Course, designed by renowned architect Arthur Vernon (A.V.) Macan, opened in 1967 and is maintained by Pierce County in Tacoma, Washington. The course is carved from a native forest of Douglas firs that line every fairway, creating a classic Pacific Northwest setting. The layout features large greens with subtle breaks and well-placed bunkers that challenge golfers of all skill levels. The course appeals equally to novice and advanced players, rewarding straight ball striking in a tree-lined environment typical of the region. Lake Spanaway presents a fair yet challenging test of golf, with its majestic forest setting and strategic design making it a distinctive golfing experience. The course hosts various tournaments, including the Puget Sound Amateur Tournament, and offers instruction and a driving range to complement the playing experience.
