Tapps Island Golf Course

About Tapps Island Golf Course

This public track sits beautifully along the shores of Lake Tapps, offering genuine water hazards and scenic views that lift what could have been just another municipal course. The routing makes clever use of the natural topography around the lake, with several holes playing directly alongside the water where errant shots find a watery grave. While the course details remain somewhat mysterious, the solid 4.4-star rating from over 300 golfers suggests consistent conditioning and playability that keeps locals coming back. What sets this place apart is the authentic lakeside setting combined with walker-friendly policies that are increasingly rare at courses with this kind of natural beauty. The value proposition appears strong for a public course in Washington's competitive golf market, and the fact that it maintains high ratings without flashy marketing or big-name architect credentials speaks to solid, honest golf. If you're in the Lake Tapps area and want a genuine lakeside round without resort pricing, this one deserves serious consideration.
