CITY OF LYNNWOOD MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE

The towering Douglas firs and persistent Pacific Northwest drizzle create a moody backdrop for this municipal gem that punches well above its weight class. What separates this track from typical city courses is the elevation changes that force you to navigate steep lies and blind approaches, particularly on the back nine where the routing climbs through dense forest corridors. The greens hold remarkably well for a public facility, and the par-3 signature hole that drops dramatically downhill through the trees will have you reaching for your camera as often as your wedge.
