Twin Lakes offers public golf in a private setting

Don’t be fooled by the name. Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club in Federal Way, Washington might say private club and have all the feel for a private club, but this is a place where the public is invited.

Twin Lakes has been around since 1967 but a few years ago when the economic pinch was starting to be felt by golf course, Twin Lakes opened up its tee sheet for public play. It’s been a case of so far, so good says the club. The club still has a private feel to it and give public golfers a chance to play a course with private-course quality. Through the month of March, golfers have a chance to play for only $30.

It’s called Golf Madness for the entire month of March, $30 gets a round of golf at Twin Lakes, a place with an 18-hole course and some terrific practice facilities. “It’s a way early in the season to get some golfers in here at a great price to see if they might want to become members of Twin Lakes,” said head professional Kris Runge. “The NCAA might have it March Madness so we came up with our own Golf Madness.”

Twin Lakes also offers a variety of memberships, and a new addition to the membership program is a Member’s Plus package giving the chance to play unlimited golf at both Twin Lakes and Kitsap Golf and Country Club in Bremerton. Almost like being a member of two clubs.

“It’s a way of adding value to our memberships,” said Runge. “We feel we have a great product now, and just made it better.”
