Tri-Cities & Walla Walla Golf Courses & Tee Times

Golf in the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla goes back further than you might guess. Walla Walla had a golf club by 1898, and Zintel Creek in Kennewick started as Twin City Golf Club in 1938. The newest headline course is Wine Valley, a Dan Hixson links-style design that opened in 2009 in the wheat fields near Walla Walla.

Why tee times in Tri-Cities & Walla Walla are hard to get

The season in Tri-Cities & Walla Walla runs roughly from spring to late fall. The first warm weekends in spring and the cool, dry weekends of fall are the hardest to book.

Each course releases its tee times on its own schedule, commonly a week or two out, with residents of town and county courses often booking first. Leagues, outings and members claim chunks of the sheet in advance, and whatever prime weekend times are left tend to go on release day.

When tee time cancellations happen

A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.

Doing it by hand? Here's what works.

  1. Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
  2. Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
  3. Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
  4. Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
  5. Widen the map. If your first choice is full, check the next town over. Toppenish has 1 courses on Yoink and Walla Walla has 1.

Tee times in Tri-Cities & Walla Walla: questions

It depends on the course. Many public courses open bookings 7 to 14 days ahead, and town or county courses often give residents an earlier window. Each course's own booking page has its policy.

When is golf busiest in Tri-Cities & Walla Walla?

Demand is highest on spring and fall weekends. Weekend mornings are always the hardest tee times to get.
