Big changes are coming to Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, and golf lovers have a lot to be excited about. Over the next three years, the city plans to invest $48 million to completely upgrade the historic course through a project called “Reimagine Meadow Park Golf Course.”
What’s Coming to Meadow Park Golf Course
The plan is to give Meadow Park a fresh, modern look while keeping it a fun and welcoming place for all golfers—beginners and experts alike. Here’s what to expect:
- A brand-new executive 9-hole course
- A three-hole developmental course for beginners and lessons
- A modern restaurant and new clubhouse
- An entertainment facility designed to attract families and casual visitors
These upgrades are designed to make Meadow Park not just a golf course, but a full golfing and social experience.
What Meadow Park Has Now
Currently, the course includes:
- An 18-hole championship course
- A 9-hole executive course
- A driving range
- A clubhouse
With nearly 145 acres of space and over 110,000 rounds of golf played in 2025, it’s clear that Meadow Park is already a favourite for locals and visitors. Over 12 million golf balls were hit on the range in a single year—showing just how busy and popular the facility really is.
A Course with Deep Roots
Meadow Park has been part of Tacoma’s landscape since 1915, and the Tacoma Parks District has run it since 1961. Over the decades, it has become more than just a golf course—it’s a part of the community. The new upgrades will preserve this history while giving it a bold new future.
How the $48 Million Project is Funded
One of the most impressive things about this renovation is that no money from Tacoma’s general fund will be used. Instead, the entire project will be paid for using the Meadow Park Golf Enterprise Cash Reserves. That means the golf course is funding its own future—thanks to how successful and self-sustaining it has been.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about making a nicer golf course. It’s about:
- Attracting more visitors
- Providing more opportunities for youth and beginner golfers
- Offering a modern, social space for families and the wider community
- Boosting local tourism and economic activity
Whether you’re a regular golfer, someone who enjoys a driving range session, or just looking for a great place to hang out with friends, the future of Meadow Park looks promising.
