Foster Golf Links

Foster Golf Links is a historic, 18-hole public golf course located along the Duwamish River in Tukwila. This cherished community course celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025, and continues to impress with its stunning riverside views and mature tree-lined fairways. It's a great course for amateurs, as it's shorter and more accessible than many other courses. With a historic legacy, a full-service pro shop, and one of the area’s most relaxing patio dining experiences at the onsite restaurant and bar, this gem of a course hits all the right notes.

Occupying a unique site adjacent to the meandering Duwamish River, which surrounds 65% of the course. The 18-hole golf course plays just less than 5,000 yards, with one par 5 for men, two for women, and five par 3’s, two of which cross the river. Foster is recognized as a rewarding and fun course that is easy to walk and challenging for the average golfer. Many players fondly remember Foster as the course where they recorded their best tournament score.
