Whether you’re planning a weekend golf getaway or exploring the best courses in Northwest Washington, the Mount Baker Golf Trail makes it easy to experience multiple courses in one trip. Discover Lake Padden Golf Course, Loomis Trail Golf, North Bellingham Golf Course, Shuksan Golf Club, and Sudden Valley Golf Course.
Set on rolling foothills just north of Bellingham, Shuksan Golf Club serves up 18 memorable holes defined by dramatic elevation changes, sweeping looks at Mt. Baker, and the ever-present twists of Ten Mile Creek. Opened in 1994 and marketed as “The Public’s Country Club,” Shuksan blends tournament-level shot values with muni-level accessibility.
North Bellingham Golf Course – A True-Links Challenge in Washington’s Far Northwest Opened in July 1995 on the historic Wilder Ranch property, North Bellingham Golf Course was designed by Northwest architect Ted Locke to “naturally integrate the open-field qualities” of the site. The result is a public track that feels more Scottish than Puget Sound.
South-east of downtown Bellingham, Sudden Valley Golf & Country Club squeezes 18 memorable holes between the glassy shores of Lake Whatcom and a forested ridge line that climbs toward the Cascades. Architect Ted Robinson (1970) framed wide, forgiving fairways on the lake-level front nine, then flipped the script with a back nine that hikes into tall evergreens, narrows the corridors, and flanks greens with trouble on every side. Water touches 14 holes, forty-plus bunkers dot the routing, and subtle uphill approaches make the course “play 5–10 percent longer than the card.”
A top-10 golf course in Washington, Loomis Trail Golf Club in Blaine, WA, is a fantastic round of golf. Designed by Graham Cooke, Loomis offers a challenging, tree-lined layout. It is owned by the Lummi Nation features one of the most iconic clubhouses in the region.
