Jackson Park (Seattle)

Jackson Park has both a nine-hole par three course and a full eighteen-hole long course. It offers amenities such as a pro shop, cafe and bar, cart rentals, driving range, and putting practice greens. It underwent renovations in 2001 to allow Thornton Creek to flow through in a more environmentally beneficial way. This renovation added much water to the front nine and increased the difficulty significantly. The course also offers junior camps that run throughout the summer. The official course record is 62 and was set by amateur golfer, and former Seattle Mariners pitcher, Erik Hanson in the 2015 Seattle Amateur.^[1] Fellow amateur Vinnie Murphy equaled that score in the 2016 edition of the tournament.^[2]

The golf course was one of six finalist sites proposed for a northern bus base for Metro Transit in the 1980s.^[3][4] It was not chosen due to backlash from golfers and local residents.^[5]

The neighborhood surrounding the park is sometimes referred to as Jackson Park. Its boundaries are the city of Shoreline to the north, the neighborhood of Lake City to the east, the Northgate area to the south, and the neighborhood of Haller Lake to the west.
