Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club

Arnold Palmer's 1986 design on the Washington-BC border at Semiahmoo Resort, a 7,005-yard par-72 tree-lined course framed on clear days by Mount Baker on the horizon. One of the best Palmer-signature layouts in the Pacific Northwest and the region's premier golf-resort round north of Chambers Bay. The signature hole is the par-3 12th, 173 yards over water to a 44-yard-long green with Mount Baker behind. Paired with the par-3 11th, the two holes wrap around the same pond for a stretch that's the back-nine showpiece. The course's toughest test is the par-4 4th (417 yards, typically into wind, fairway bunkers right, elevated two-tiered green). More than 60 strategic bunkers pepper the routing. Ranked #7 public course in Washington by Golfweek. A lesser-known Pacific Northwest gem that sits between Bellingham and the border crossing, smart combo with Chambers Bay on a week that includes Vancouver.
