Getting there
The journey to Broadmoor Golf Club begins at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a half-hour drive north into the city's most discreet residential enclave. The route traces the eastern shore of Lake Washington, passing through neighborhoods where old Seattle money has quietly resided for generations, before turning into the gated Broadmoor community itself. Here, amid towering Douglas firs and meticulously preserved mid-century estates, the club reveals itself not with fanfare but with the understated confidence of a place that has never needed to announce its presence - a fitting arrival for one of the Pacific Northwest's most famously private sanctuaries.
