Red baskets easy to see from tee box. Decent holes to practice shots. Baskets were in decent shape and layout wasn't to hard to follow

Not the most scenic course. Tee pads aren't anything special, kind of just a bland course. It's more of a good warm up or cool down for the other courses around. No tee signs showing hole location or distance

Ray's nine is a wonderfully creative nine hole course located between the NW &SE courses near the parking lot. Starting on what was once the first hole of the SE course, this course was designed using bits of the old courses as well as newly designed holes, capitalizing on the surrounding unused areas. Intended for the novice/intermediate player, this course brings enjoyment to all skill levels! Like the other two courses on site, this course challenges players through line accuracy and placement. Although this course is shorter on average than the others, it is the ideal place to learn, practice, or warm up on before hitting the others. The replay factor is high on this course due to being quick, fun, and well designed!

Like the other two courses, this course can to be difficult to navigate for first timers. There are several areas that have cement tee pads due to the old layouts but if you just be on the lookout for the red number on the tees you should be fine. The red baskets are a wonderful touch too, helping to navigate.

Other than a little navigational issues...not much. Super fun short course!

The local club at Ft. Steilacoom did a terrific job in honoring Raymond Seick. The beautiful custom red baskets with Ray's picture as well as the hole number on each face plate is a nice touch! I have had the privilege of meeting him multiple times over the years and must say that he truly is an amazing person. He has given over a quarter of a century to Ft. Steilacoom as the course pro, teaching and inspiring players from all walks of life about the game he loves. The fact he has a course named after him says a lot about the impact Ray has had in Pierce County as well as the state of Washington. I feel honored to have played this course and even more lucky to have met him!

This is an incredibly good warm up course or beginner friendly course. You have obstacles and tougher holes like number three to let newer players know this game isn't easy but the course is short enough that it shouldn't discourage anyone from playing it. The lines are just fun enough that even seasoned players will have fun throwing here. Like a previous reviewer said this course starts out on one of the old layouts of the course (15 different layouts at one point, not making that up either) and you can even see old signs pointing you in the wrong direction towards tee pads that don't excist anymore. Luckily it's not too though to find your way around here, the baskets for this course are all painted red and have a picture of Ray Seick on the number plate along with the hole number. Also on each of the real tee pads (more on this later) it has a little red number indicating which hole you are on. This course is in between the NW and SE layouts and starts right next to the gravel parking lot on the side in which you drove in.

There is still confusion here but it's not quite as it used to be at FSP. Problem is with all of those different layouts they used to have they still have concrete tee pads randomly throughout. The easy way to know if you are playing the right tee either on this course or another is that the tee pads with no tee sign or little red number are no longer a part of the course here so if you find one of those you've gone the wrong way.

I'm glad that whomever is in charge here has decided to make a few great courses instead of the crazy different safari layouts that they had before. Tee signs and next tee signs are in here and a few more in some tricky places would be even better. Put some yellow tape on the basket in the direction of the next hole, that is a simple and effective way of leading people in the right direction on top of everything else. I don't think I've ever seen navigation overkill before. This piece of property is slowly becoming the destination resort for DG that it has (mistakenly) been known for in the past. It's good to see all of the hard work put in here and I can see myself more and more making the trek down from Seattle to play it.
