The Tacoma stuff is on its own, it's all very good down there.
Seattle wise, Druids Glen is easily the best public option that isn't an hour+ away. Newcastle fucking blows honestly.
I've always assumed Newcastle was great and should be on the bucket list. hhmmmmmm
Don't bother. Go play Druids 5 times for the same price.
Tacoma, taking into account no traffic (which still isn't nearly as bad as Seattle), the number of courses to play within half an hour, gives a lot of variety, and interesting holes along the way.
Plus a bit easier access to Gold Mountain, and lower rate courses like Rivers Edge in Tumwater.
If you have @PurpleBaze uber money then Tacoma, Fircrest and some other private courses in Gig Harbor and Olympia are also accessible.
