Tacoma Country & Golf Club is as proud of our past as we are excited about our future. Dating to 1894, Tacoma Country & Golf Club has been occupying this beautiful property on the shores of American Lake for well over a century. TCGC is the oldest established Golf Club West of the Mississippi.

Golf is central to the member experience at Tacoma Country & Golf Club. We feature an 18-hole championship golf course that stretches beyond 6,900-yards from the back tees. Accomplished players will love the test they find on our links, while players of all skill levels will find a playable course that is enjoyable round after round. 

Tacoma Country & Golf Club (TCGC) operates a banquet kitchen and a full service, member-only restaurant. Throughout the property there are many banquet rooms and facilities used for events. We offer a fun, energetic and welcoming culture here at the Club which helps create and maintain relationships with our members and their guests. Tacoma Country & Golf Club has a very active membership in the summer months with business levels thinning out in the Winter months as the membership heads south. The food quality here at TCGC is one of our focal points and the membership is quick to comment on their love of the restaurant and level of service we extend to them! Our Executive Chef has been with the Club for 15 years, loves to fish, and is active in changing the weekly specials and menus to reflect the seasons.
