OUR VALUED SPONSORS
We offer a list of the best public golf courses in Washington state. We base our listings on course conditioning, layout, pace of play, scenery, and amenities. That said, here is our list of the Top 30 best Washington public golf courses in alphabetical order:
TOP 30
Washington National Golf Course
And if you must know, and mostly because I am sucker for the sweeping vistas and generally dry & sunny conditions associated with golf courses in Eastern Washington, my personal favorite golf course in all of Washington is.... Gamble Sands. Feel free to argue my pick or make a case for adding a course in the comments below

Chris;
It was great to see you and Connie in B'ham in January.
Your Top 30 pretty much mirrors mine, though Wine Valley is still my personal favorite. It was amazing to read down the list and realize how many of the courses I have been fortunate to play. The few that I somehow missed have been put on my to-do list.
If it was a Top 31, would Lake Padden have made the cut. As I get older it just seems to fit better and better every round.
Hi to Connie. Hope to see you both down the way, and maybe even share a round with you.

Hi Dave - Sorry to have been tardy on my reply but never-the-less... I've played legion memorial a couple of times, and I liked it just ok. The conditioning was slightly above average, and it was crowded. The weather was overcast both times so whatever scenery may enhance the course, was not visible. I'll admit it's been quite a while since I last played it so conditioning could have certainly improved. And the crowded nature of the course may likely be more related to its location than popularity. However, all things considered, including reasonable pricing, it's worth a play, just not in my Top 30.

They are: 1) Greens conditioning 2) Overall course conditioning 3) Course layout 4) Crowds & Pace of Play 5) Amenities 6) Scenery
I also need to preface my rankings with the idea that for some courses on my list, it's been several years since I last played them - And conditions can certainly change over time
