Camaloch Golf Club
About this course
Camaloch Golf Club occupies a forested setting on Camano Island in Puget Sound, northwest of Everett, Washington. The course was designed by Roy Goss and opened in 1965, carved through stands of Douglas fir, cedar, and alder typical of the Pacific Northwest. The layout takes advantage of the island's rolling terrain, with elevation changes and tree-lined fairways that require accuracy off the tee and thoughtful course management throughout the round. The routing moves through dense woodland corridors, and many holes feature doglegs where positioning becomes more important than distance. Water comes into play on several holes, including ponds that guard greens and create strategic decisions on approach shots. The relatively narrow fairways and mature tree canopy give the course an intimate, enclosed character distinct from the more open links-style layouts found elsewhere in the region. Camaloch serves as a community course for Camano Island residents and visitors exploring the Puget Sound area. The club maintains a welcoming atmosphere suited to recreational golfers while still presenting a legitimate test for more accomplished players navigating the tree-lined layout. The island setting, accessible by bridge from the mainland, offers a quieter alternative to courses in the Seattle metropolitan area, with views of the surrounding forest and occasional glimpses of the sound's waters through the trees.

Getting there
The journey to Camaloch Golf Club begins at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), roughly ninety minutes south, followed by a northbound drive through the Puget Sound lowlands that gradually narrows into the quieter corridors of Island County. Private aviators will find Skagit Regional Airport (BVS) a more intimate alternative, positioned just east of the Sound and a brief drive from Camano Island itself. The final passage crosses the Camano Island Bridge and winds through stands of Douglas fir and madrone before arriving at the club's secluded bluff-top setting, where views of the Strait of Georgia and the San Juan Islands emerge as a reward for the measured, meditative approach.
