Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club – Elevated Play with South Sound Views

Tucked into the heart of Federal Way, Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club offers a welcoming private golf experience that combines strategy, beauty, and community. Designed by Pacific Northwest architect William Teufel and completed in 1969, this classic layout winds through mature evergreens with sweeping Puget Sound views, testing your shot-making without punishing your scorecard.

More than 50 years after its opening, Twin Lakes remains a favorite among South Sound players seeking consistent greens, thoughtful routing, and a round of golf that feels both personal and peaceful.

A Course Built for All Skill Levels

Measuring just over 6,200 yards from the back tees, Twin Lakes is a par-72 course with four sets of tees: Blue, White, Green, and Gold. While not long by modern standards, the course makes up for it with tight doglegs, elevation changes, and small, well-protected greens. It’s a layout that rewards course management over brute force.

Memorable Holes at Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club

• Hole 3 (Par 3) – A short but nerve-testing tee shot over water to a sloped green protected by a deep bunker. Club choice is everything.
• Hole 4 (Par 5) – Tight with out-of-bounds both left and right. Accuracy and shot placement are crucial from tee to green.
• Hole 8 (Par 4) – The signature par-3. At 211 yards from the blues, the green is surrounded by trouble. Some golfers choose to lay up and chip their way to par.
• Hole 13 (Par 4) – A sharp dogleg left that kicks off a tough three-hole stretch. The green slopes hard from left to right.
• Hole 14 (Par 5) – Pause to take in the panoramic Puget Sound view before hitting a straight tee shot down this challenging hole toward a two-tiered elevated green.
• Hole 15 (Par 5) – Another signature hole with views and demand. Placement off the tee is everything, followed by a precise approach into a tough green.
