Lakeland Village Golf Club

Lakeland Village Golf Club's Generation I course sits in Allyn, a small community on the southern shore of Washington's Case Inlet, part of the greater Puget Sound system. The course was designed by Gene "Bunny" Mason, a Pacific Northwest architect whose work appeared primarily in the mid-to-late twentieth century across Washington and Oregon. Mason's designs typically emphasized playability for resort and daily-fee golfers while working within the natural contours and vegetation of the region. The routing at Lakeland Village takes advantage of the area's rolling terrain and forested character, common to courses built in this part of western Washington. Players encounter tree-lined fairways with Douglas fir and cedar defining corridors, elevation changes that require thoughtful club selection, and greens that reflect the era's design sensibilities. The course serves both the residential community at Lakeland Village and visiting golfers drawn to the quieter reaches of the southern Puget Sound. Allyn itself remains a modest waterfront town, and the golf course operates as a community amenity rather than a destination facility. The setting offers views of the surrounding hills and occasional glimpses of the inlet, though the course itself is set back from the immediate shoreline. Generation I provides straightforward golf in a forested Northwest environment, typical of the regional courses that serve local populations and seasonal visitors to the area's recreational properties.
