Back9 Parlor is an indoor golf bar on Alderwood Mall Boulevard in Lynnwood, about 15 miles north of downtown Seattle. It pairs six Full Swing simulators with a full bar and an all-day food menu. The room leans social: leagues, parties, corporate outings and full-venue buyouts are all part of the pitch. A lead instructor is on staff for anyone who wants lessons.
All six bays run Full Swing simulators with the ION-3 camera system. The software carries more than 100 courses, including Pebble Beach, St Andrews and TPC Sawgrass, plus a multi-sport mode with football, baseball, hockey and soccer games. Bays are booked by the simulator, not per person, so a group splits one rate.
Pricing is simple: $45 an hour per simulator at standard times and $60 an hour during peak hours, which run Friday at 5pm through Sunday at 7pm. Book online by picking a date and simulator count. A summer membership, April through August, offers unlimited access, priority booking and discounts; ask at the venue for the current rate. Rates change, so confirm current pricing with the venue before you go.
Hours are 1pm to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 1pm to 11pm Friday, 10am to 11pm Saturday and 10am to 7pm Sunday. Saturday hours can vary and later visits can be arranged on request. Confirm before planning a late Saturday. Hours can change with the season.
The full bar handles drinks. The kitchen serves toasty sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, salads and fried snacks all day. There is a restaurant, Wi-Fi, and free lot and street parking. It is family-friendly and good for kids, with a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot and restroom.
Leagues run in seasonal blocks. The format is two-person alternate shot, with handicaps set over the first three weeks. Registration is $50 per player plus $25 in weekly green fees, and play runs Monday through Thursday starting at 7pm. Private leagues can be arranged for a big group. Lessons are with lead instructor Garrett Stephens, a former professional and national amateur competitor: $50 for 30 minutes, $85 for an hour, or $50 per person for a semi-private hour with two or three players. Packages, group clinics and playing lessons are available too, and parties, corporate team-building and full buyouts go through the events page. Rates change, so confirm current pricing with the venue before you go.
Back9 is built for groups who want golf and a good bar in the same room, and it rates 4.5 from 159 Google reviews.
