HARBOUR POINTE GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Mukilteo, WA, USA
Designed by Arthur Hills
Harbour Pointe Golf Club opened in 1990 as an Arthur Hills design situated on a former tree farm in Mukilteo, Washington, roughly twenty miles north of Seattle along Puget Sound. Hills routed the course through rolling, heavily wooded terrain dominated by mature Douglas firs and cedars, creating a layout that emphasizes strategic positioning and accuracy over sheer length. The property's natural elevation changes and dense forest corridors define much of the playing experience, with fairways often framed tightly by towering evergreens that demand thoughtful club selection and course management.
The design incorporates water hazards on several holes, including ponds and wetlands that come into play both as carry hazards and lateral penalties. Hills shaped generous, undulating greens that reward precise approach shots, and the bunkering throughout reflects his preference for strategic placement rather than purely penal design. The back nine generally features more dramatic elevation shifts than the front, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through the forested landscape.
Harbour Pointe operates as a semi-private facility, offering public access alongside member play. The course has hosted various regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, serving as a competitive venue for Pacific Northwest golf. Its location in the Seattle metropolitan area and its tree-lined, parkland character make it representative of the region's golf offerings, where wooded settings and moderate maritime climates shape the playing conditions throughout much of the year.
Reviews
Christopher Hitchens once said, “everyone thinks they have a book in them. In most cases that’s where it should stay.” Similarly, just because you have 100 acres, that doesn’t mean you should build a golf course. This course is a good example. Trite. Lacks any character. Not fun, either.
