Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club sits along the shores of Hood Canal in Union, Washington, a small community on the eastern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. The course was designed by Roy Goss and Glen Proctor, Pacific Northwest architects who worked on several courses in the region during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The property occupies forested terrain characteristic of western Washington, with Douglas fir and cedar framing holes that move through rolling topography above the canal. The routing takes advantage of the natural landscape, incorporating elevation changes and wooded corridors that define playing corridors. Several holes offer views across Hood Canal toward the Olympic Mountains, particularly where the layout approaches the waterfront. The design reflects a regional style common to Northwest courses of its era, emphasizing tree-lined fairways and greens that require accurate approach play. The shorter yardage and relatively modest scale make it accessible to a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green contours and hazard placement. Alderbrook functions as part of a resort and yacht club community, serving both members and resort guests. The club's setting on Hood Canal connects it to the maritime culture of Puget Sound, and the facility includes lodging, dining, and marina amenities alongside the golf course. The combination of golf and waterfront access reflects the recreational character of the Hood Canal region, which draws visitors for both outdoor activities and scenic coastal environment.
