Linden Golf and Country Club and the Nix family have entered into a new lease agreement that extends the lease to 2045. This lease extension will allow for the preservation of the golf course for another 30 years. The golf course was constructed in 1924 on land that was originally homesteaded by the Nix family. Linden Golf and Country Club would like to thank the Nix family for the new lease and their commitment to maintaining this unique active open space within the Puyallup community.

Linden Golf and Country Club is a non-profit private course limited to 300 members. Linden is a 6,172 yard, 9-hole course with separate tees for the front and back 9 utilizing the same greens.

This agreement will allow the 108 plus acre site to remain an open space versus being developed under the current zoning that allows for 20 apartment units per acre. This, when coupled with the City of Puyallup’s recent purchase of the 20 plus acre Van Lierop property, provides the community with significant additional active open space.
The lease agreement is also encouraging news for the golf industry which on both a national and local level has been challenged by the loss of so many courses to development.
