Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Olympia Country & Golf Club if I'm not a member, and what's the vibe like?

While Olympia Country & Golf Club is primarily a private club, you can often secure a tee time as a guest of a member or through reciprocal agreements with your home club. We found the atmosphere to be genuinely welcoming, a classic Pacific Northwest club feel without any stuffiness.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Olympia Country & Golf Club, and what should I watch out for?

The par-3 17th is a real beauty and a beast, playing downhill to a green guarded by a deep bunker on the left and a steep drop-off to the right. Club selection is everything here; don't let the stunning views of Budd Inlet distract you from a precise shot.

When is the best time of year to play Olympia Country & Golf Club, considering the weather?

Hands down, late spring through early fall offers the best conditions - think June through September for drier fairways and consistent sunshine. If you visit in the shoulder seasons, you might encounter some classic Pacific Northwest drizzle, but the course often plays softer and less crowded.

How challenging is Olympia Country & Golf Club for different handicaps, and what kind of golfer will enjoy it most?

Olympia offers a fair test for all skill levels; it's not overly long, but the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, especially off the tee. We think mid-handicappers will particularly appreciate the strategic bunkering and subtle green complexes, making it a truly enjoyable round.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or views does Olympia Country & Golf Club offer?

After your round, definitely grab a drink on the clubhouse patio - the panoramic views of Budd Inlet and the Olympic Mountains are simply breathtaking, especially at sunset. Their dining room also serves up some fantastic local seafood, a perfect way to cap off your day.
