Course Overview

Lynnwood Golf Course plays to 4,741 yards from the white tees with a par of 65. The routing leans on short par 4s and a healthy mix of par 3s, including one on the front that stretches to the low 200s and a shorter wedge test on the back. With no par 5s on the card, the course emphasizes accuracy off the tee and clean wedges into approachable targets.

That profile changes how you manage the round. Driver is not always the play. On many par 4s between roughly 250 and 340 yards, a fairway wood or long iron sets up preferred yardages. Approach shots matter more than raw length, so picking safe sides, playing for full swings into greens, and accepting par on the one long back-nine par 4 are the smart decisions here.

Hole-by-Hole Highlights

  • Front nine opens with two gettable par 4s, then a demanding par 3 around the low 200s that asks for a solid long iron or hybrid.

  • Several par 4s on the outward half sit under 300 yards, making position off the tee more important than distance.

  • Short par 3s in the mid and late front nine reward precise wedge trajectories and confident putting.

  • Back nine starts with a playable par 3 near 190 yards followed by a string of placement par 4s under 300 yards.

  • The longest test arrives mid back nine, a 470-yard par 4 that plays like a true two-shot hole; take par and move on.

  • A 124-yard par 3 later on the back is a green-light wedge if you control spin and land it pin high.

  • Two tee sets alter angles more than total yardage, so choose the box that frames your preferred shot shape.

  • With par weighted toward 3s and 4s, your scoring chances come from tidy approaches and stress-free two putts.

How to Score Here

  • On short par 4s, club down to a favorite wedge number, then aim for the wide half of the green at Lynnwood Golf Course.

  • Treat the long back-nine par 4 as a par hole, hit the fairway, and play to the fat side for a simple up-and-down.

  • On mid-length par 3s, choose the club that carries pin high, avoid short-siding, and trust a two-putt plan.

  • Use the alternate tee set to change angles if a certain hole does not fit your eye.

  • Keep the driver in the bag when it brings trouble into play, favor straight over long.
