The Cedars at Dungeness



About this course
The Cedars at Dungeness sits in Sequim, Washington, a town on the Olympic Peninsula known for its rain shadow microclimate and proximity to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Designed by Jack Reimer and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Dungeness Valley, with the Olympic Mountains providing a backdrop to the south and west. The routing incorporates stands of cedar and fir that give the course its name, along with native grasses and wetland areas that reflect the regional landscape. Reimer, a Pacific Northwest architect whose work includes several courses in Washington and Oregon, designed Dungeness as a daily-fee facility accessible to the local community and visitors exploring the Olympic Peninsula. The layout emphasizes strategic placement over forced carries, with fairway corridors defined by tree lines and occasional water hazards. The course plays to a modest yardage from the back tees, suitable for a range of skill levels, and the greens feature gentle contours consistent with the terrain. Sequim's position in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains means the course receives significantly less precipitation than surrounding areas, allowing for more playable conditions throughout the year. The Cedars at Dungeness serves as a regional amenity rather than a tournament venue, drawing golfers traveling along Highway 101 and those staying in the Sequim area for its outdoor recreation and proximity to Olympic National Park.

Getting there
The Cedars at Dungeness is reached most conveniently via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), followed by a two-hour drive northwest across the Puget Sound region and onto the Olympic Peninsula, where the landscape gradually shifts from suburban sprawl to dense Pacific Northwest forest and glimpses of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. For those arriving by private aircraft, Sequim Valley Airport lies just minutes from the club, offering a discrete alternative to the commercial terminals. The final approach winds through quiet, tree-lined roads that open onto the dramatic bluff-top setting overlooking Dungeness Spit and the Cascades beyond - a landscape of profound maritime solitude that announces arrival at one of the Pacific Northwest's most secluded and architecturally distinguished golf destinations.
