The best course in Seattle. I learned to golf there. Started on the Executive 9 hole course until I graduated to the main course w/hubbys help and the help of the staff. They are patient even with me, a not so great golfer. This is a good course to learn on, it has it all: ponds, creeks, hills (carts too thank gawd) lots of trees. But is still challenging enough for even seasoned golfers to have to work for their Pars. Each fairway is lined with trees so you dont have to worry about the fairway next to you having someone playing up your fairway. Its a city course so could use some help w/restrooms, cart paths etc. But the super wonderful team that works there you know are doing the best they can to get it fixed when the city lets loose of some funds. They added a driving range and with my good luck my fav golf pro. Val, joined them. Luv her. The course is older so as I said needs some work, (restrooms, cart paths) but the food taken care of by Anthony & James & team is great. The proshop with manager Kathy ( I do miss Gail ) but Kathy is great, then the wonderful proshop guys Will, Tommy, many many others Im afraid Ill miss someone if I try to name them all and Id not wish to hurt anyones feelings. John taught me how to hold my club w/a "proper golf grip". I LOVE these guys/gals. Can run slow but what course doesnt when weather in Seattle is good? Join the fun and hugs to ya all. :)

The course is usually good but somethings went very wrong this year. They are overwatering to avoid burning out but without factoring the mild weather. Middle of June and it was not rolling much and mud in spots. Aerification did not take well, greens are a grid of bumps and most felt like they were rolling at 8-9 stimp while a few were quite a bit quicker..very frustrating. If I would have putted on the practice green before paying I wouldnt have played, I wont be back for awhile. I almost want to say they need a new greenskeeper because what has been done this year is a bit of a travesty. The place was beat down, the last course Ive played that was in worse shape was Tyee. Pretty sad because I used to love this course. Appears their priority is the range not the course.

Course was in great condition. Was happy to finally play here, as its not far from Downtown, unless youre sitting in traffic. The greens were in great condition, and the course was clean. One thing I didnt expect though, was how hilly the course gets after the 2nd hole. The course is definitely a challenging one, so expect to be frustrated at times. Although the greens were in great condition, I think they could have eased up on some of their hole placements. It was like putting at a challenging mini golf spot, so be prepared for 3 putts. Just dont throw your putter afterwards like one of the guys I played with.

It may not be the best course in the city (check out the West Seattle Golf Course for that distinction) but Jackson hole is certain second best. This course was renovated a few years back for added improvements on the first nine holes. So if you havent been out to Jackson in while, give it a try, and see what you think about the changes. A side bonus is the short nine at Jackson, which is perfect for beginners just getting a feel for the game. The one caveat - be ready to have some ear plugs on hand forthe front-nine when you face all that noise from bordering Interstate - 5.

One of three regulation length Seattle city courses Jackson is a challenging layout with a goofy (to many) 1st hole. Easy to walk the only real bummer is the sound of traffic from nearby I-5. The fairways and greens are in great shape and the two years old two level driving range is very nice. Pace of play can be slow especially late in the day when players who are learning the game (or perhaps players who think golf is a beer drinking sport) show up. In winter Jackson stays playable unlike West Seattle that becomes a step above a bog.

Very run down clubhouse, parking lot, restaurant, etc. Newer driving range building (have not used). I take my kids here for the par 3, which is about what you would expect. It is in average shape and could use some TLC around the greens and tee boxes. Full course is also what you would expect from a municipal course. Staff is always nice. If you arent too pretentious, you can have a good time here.

Nice course. Turf was in much better condition than I expected. Has a few challenging shots but is mostly open and accessible. The rental rate for golf carts is borderline cost prohibitive ($28/round) but I come from courses where carts are built into the rates. Overall enjoyable and Id play again but definitely walk or use a pull-cart.

The perimeter trail is fairly well maintained, but watch out for flooding after heavy rains. There are about three active or abandoned homeless camps near the trail. Its my current favorite running trail, primarily due to the proximity to my house. Good hills and no ankle-breaking holes or roots.

Francis Haines

Great customer service from the whole staff, from the pro shop to the restaurant and even the greens keepers. Challenging course with tight fairways. Be prepared to lose some golf balls.

Mike Myette

Very difficult from blues and white tees. Many narrow uphill shots, be straight or be in trouble, A game for this course at 12 to 15 handicappers. Staff pleasant and accommodating.

Kyle Morean

Parts of the course I love. Other parts are not very well maintained. Some pretty slow rounds out there and marshals who seem to be there and do nothing to improve the pace.

Fun & challenging and walkable layout, consider carrying more balls then usual if you arent always on point. 9-hole Par3 course available to tune your iron and putting game.

A "twisty", "hilly" public golf course that is great to practice various shots. Jackson is also one of the 3 public courses during the Seattle Amateur.

this is jackson not jefferson! jefferson is a classic course, this course is a piece of junk and does not deserve to be called jefferson, and its not!

Matthew Dubin

A very good municipal golf course. Challenging, well maintained, and good service. The clubhouse is minimal, but thats not why I go here anyway.

thomas hanrahan

As far as city courses go this is decent, tough greens and unforgiving fairways though. If you dont hit straight bring a LOT of extra balls

The staff are really friendly and they have some really good deals. I love coming here on my day off to practice on the driving range.

There is a good trail surrounding the golf course. Theres garbage and traffic noise here that detract from the otherwise great trail

Andrew Jackson was a slave owner and this golf course refuses to change their name. Get with the times.

Love playing on the back 9 growing up, never did the fill 18, but the 9 was great for me as a kiddo.
