Columbia Park Golf Tri Plex — Local services in Kennewick

I hadn't been to the new Tri Plex yet and was WOWED!! As someone who had played Columbia Park Golf Course for years (20+) - I was floored by the new building and amenities. If we still lived in the Tri-Cities, I'd not only play golf (and practice on the range) - I'd be eating and drinking on the patio. What a beautiful job the team did that reimagined this space.

The course is still the same layout and is an overall good shape! There's a couple of greens (just a couple) that show their age a bit but definitely a track to practice mastering your scoring irons, chipping and putting. Fun layout!

The only thing I can say was better than the rebuilt amenities - was the staff!! Welcoming, relaxing, professional- just plain nice! And when we phoned in the next day that we misplaced a set of car keys in one of the on-course trash bins, the Operations Manager Melissa Hibbard immediately stopped what she was doing, went down to their maintenance area, rummaged thru the gooey garbage - and found the keys!!! I mean, come on...that's way above and beyond the highest level of customer service!!

So, yes - this review may be a bit biased from my last experience at the Tri Plex...but I'd encourage anyone - golfers & non-golfers alike - to give Columbia Park Tri Plex a shot. I promise you'll go back again...

Columbia Park Golf Tri-Plex suffers from a few issues that make playing there frustrating at times. First, the course in inundated with teams of geese that leave their dropping so thick that everything ends up coated will goose feces. This is a factor for at least six months of the year. It not only is frustrating but also a health threat.

My other frustration is with the management of the facility. They do not allow golfers to use the back 9 holes unless you play 18 holes. This is a good course for teaching youngsters how to play golf but this frustrates those who play regularly and expect to finish a round in a reasonable amount of time. This arbitrary policy makes this course unfriendly for anything...

From a Disc Golfers prospective: This course really has something for each side of golf. 18 holes for Ball golf, foot golf. and now 18 brand new Innova disc catchers. The course is pretty well taken care of and has a brand new club house. $7 for 18 holes of disc golf and $10/person in a cart (optional of course). You are required to schedule a Tee time but that wasn't difficult and we were able to walk right onto the course (it's a Monday). There is a driving range and putting greens for ball golf but no practice basket for disc golf yet. All in all it was fun. 3 stars for now due to no disc merchandise (yet) and a lack of challenges for advanced players. Its a par-3 course so keep that in...
