Grays Harbor Country Club

Grays Harbor Country Club sits in Aberdeen, Washington, a timber town on the state's southwest coast where the Chehalis River meets the Pacific Ocean. The course was designed by John Ball, a Pacific Northwest architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century who laid out several courses across Washington and Oregon. The club reflects the region's working-class roots and its economy historically tied to logging and maritime industries. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of coastal Washington, with routing that likely navigates through stands of Douglas fir and other native vegetation common to the area. The proximity to Grays Harbor and the Pacific influences the climate, bringing frequent rain and moderate temperatures year-round. Holes typically feature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes, with design elements reflecting the straightforward, playable style favored in regional courses of Ball's era. Grays Harbor Country Club serves as the primary private golf facility for Aberdeen and neighboring Hoquiam. The club has long been a gathering place for local business and civic leaders in a region where outdoor recreation and community tradition hold importance. The course provides a setting for regional amateur competitions and club championships that draw players from across the southwestern Washington coast.
