Origins

Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course emerged from an established golf culture in the Snoqualmie Valley. Emmitt Jackson, whom modern golf references credit as the designer of the Fall City course, had already played an important role at nearby Mount Si. The Snoqualmie Valley Museum records that Jackson acquired Mount Si Golf Course from its stockholders during the Depression, improved its facilities and helped expand it to 18 holes.

Historical research into Mount Si also notes that Jackson later became instrumental in the construction of the nearby Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course during the 1960s. com and GolfPass date the completed Snoqualmie Falls course to 1963.

Did You Know?
Designer Emmitt Jackson had previously taken over nearby Mount Si Golf Course during the Depression and helped expand that course to 18 holes before becoming involved with Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course.

Design Philosophy

No reliable contemporary statement describing Jackson's design intentions for Snoqualmie Falls was located. The modern course is comparatively short at 5,900 yards from its longest current tees and plays to par 71. Its setting in the Snoqualmie Valley gives the layout views toward Mount Si, while its modest overall length distinguishes it from many later championship-scale developments in the Seattle region.

Development

The course has remained an 18-hole public facility since the 1960s. Historical images preserved by the Snoqualmie Valley Museum include the Snoqualmie Falls Golf Course clubhouse in 1965, confirming the facility's early operation shortly after its reported 1963 opening. Current published measurements differ significantly from some older golf directories: the present club site lists 5,900 yards from the Blue tees, 5,465 from White and 4,767 from Red.

Those figures indicate that tee configurations and published ratings have changed over time.

Recognition

Snoqualmie Falls is included by Washington Golf among the state's public golf facilities and has long served golfers in the Fall City, Snoqualmie and North Bend communities. Its history is also represented in the Snoqualmie Valley Museum's photographic collection, linking the course with the broader development of recreational golf in the valley.

Today

Snoqualmie Falls operates as an 18-hole, par-71 public course with online tee-time booking. The official website publishes separate ratings for men and women from each of its Blue, White and Red tees and describes the course as maintained for year-round play. Current services include a pro shop, private and group instruction, junior lessons and camps, and on-site food and beverage service.

Tee times can be reserved online or by telephone.
