So with the closure of our beloved Sunset Bowl and Leilani Lanes, I’m realizing that there are fewer recreational game options in Seattle that don’t involve having to go to a hipster bar in order to get a game of shuffle board or bowling in on an afternoon.
One place that has stood the test of time and offers a cheap and fun recreational experience for all is the wonderful Green Lake Golf Course. The Green Lake Golf course is by all means a “pitch n’ putt”, meaning it is a par three golf course that only necesitates 3 clubs (a pitching wedge, sand wedge, and putter). The upside to this place is that it is almost as user friendly as your neighborhood mini golf course where people of all ages and skill levels can have a very non-intimidating golfing experience.
The course at Green Lake is always green, well watered, and is a big part of Green Lake’s charm. The staff is super friendly, and the price is very VERY reasonable ($7 per round, and $3.50 for each additional round). So if you’re looking for something fun to do outdoors from spring to early fall, head down to Green Lake Golf Course with a few golf clubs (you can also rent them for a couple bucks there), and buy yourself a good time that will last you about as long as a movie.
For those serious golfers, the greens might be a little slow for your liking, but really, its a pitch and put and you get a lot more than what you pay for.
