Highlands Golf Course is a public, nine-hole par-3 course at 1400 North Highlands Parkway in Tacoma, Washington, designed by Ted Robinson. The layout measures about 1,287 yards, and holes are short enough that a full round typically takes about 75 minutes. With every hole a par 3, a round offers nine hole-in-one chances, making it popular with beginners and with players working on wedges and short irons. It is the home of the Washington State Par 3 Championship, and walk-up play is open to the public.

Allenmore Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course centrally located in Tacoma, Washington, at 2013 South Cedar Street. Construction began in July 1930 on land assembled by Sam Allen and William Dinsmore, whose combined names gave the course its title, with Ray Ball serving as the original architect. The course was built on rolling ground that required extensive clearing, and it was among the first Pacific Northwest courses to water fairways and greens without relying on hoses, using a dedicated pumping system and reservoir. Today the facility includes a golf shop, practice range, and the Urban Elk Restaurant & Bar, and it also hosts weddings and banquets through its events center. Golf instruction is available through PGA teaching professionals, and the course remains open to public play daily.
