West Seattle proposed range plan gets shelved

The City of Seattle has decided to scrap plans to build a new driving range at West Seattle Golf Course. The City of Seattle, and Premier Golf, which manages the city’s golf courses, created a plan which would include a new driving range at West Seattle Golf Course. But golfers didn’t want the course to build the new range because of all the changes that would come with it, said Paul Wilkinson, the director of golf for the City of Seattle.

An obstacle to putting the range elsewhere on the property was the fact that long hitters would have had to lay up and neighboring property owners didn’t like the idea either.
There are still plans to build a range at Jackson Park.
