Detailed description

Fort Steilacoom Golf Course is a public 9-hole golf course located just down the street from Chambers Bay in Lakewood, Washington.

The course first opened for play in 1951.

This is a mature tucked away course that is short and narrow in spots with tall fir trees lining some holes. Fort Steillacoom is a straightforward layout. It's tree-lined fairways still require you to hit a straight shot. The ground is firm. The course drains well, it's ok to golf after it's rained.

Steilacoom is a 9-hole, par-34 golf course. It serves as a popular beginner and junior golf venue and offers Footgolf leagues.

The course closed on September 24, 2018.

A notice posted September 10, 2018, stated, "The nine-hole course, which sees about 16,000 rounds a year, will close on September 24th, 2018; annual pass members and those with vouchers will be allowed to access the course until those expire on September 30th. Tee-times will not be reserved, and cart availability will be limited after September 24th, reported the Weekly News.

Pierce County Parks also manages Chambers Bay Golf Course and Lake Spanaway Golf Course under an agreement with Kemper Sports Management. Each of those 18-hole sites hosts more than 30,000 rounds annually."
