The Executive 9 at Jackson Park Golf Club occupies a compact footprint within Seattle's historic municipal golf complex in the city's northeast corner. Bob Johnstone and Frank James designed this short course to serve as an accessible introduction to the game and a quick-play option for golfers with limited time. The layout consists entirely of par-3 holes, with yardages typically ranging from short pitch shots to mid-irons, making it suitable for beginners, juniors, and experienced players working on their short game. Jackson Park itself dates to the early twentieth century and has long been part of Seattle's public golf infrastructure, sitting near the shores of Lake Washington. The Executive 9 shares the property with the facility's regulation course, and the terrain reflects the area's gentle topography with modest elevation changes and mature tree cover. The holes play through corridors lined with Pacific Northwest vegetation, and the straightforward design emphasizes playability over complexity. The course functions primarily as a practice and learning venue within the Seattle Parks and Recreation system. It sees steady use from local residents, families, and golfers seeking a relaxed round without the time commitment of a full eighteen holes. The facility maintains an unpretentious character consistent with municipal golf operations, focusing on accessibility and community service rather than tournament play or championship conditions.
