Island Greens Golf Club

Island Greens occupies a distinctive setting on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, approximately forty miles north of Seattle. Dave Anderson designed this nine-hole course that takes advantage of the island's rolling terrain and Pacific Northwest landscape character. The property sits within Clinton, a small community on the southern end of Whidbey Island, accessible by Washington State Ferry from Mukilteo on the mainland. The course reflects the practical design approach common to many nine-hole facilities in the region, where limited acreage and community-scale operations shape the routing and playing experience. The layout works through modest elevation changes typical of Whidbey Island's glacially-formed topography, with native vegetation including Douglas fir, cedar, and Pacific Northwest understory plants framing the holes. The setting provides views characteristic of the island environment, where forested areas meet more open terrain. Island Greens serves primarily as a community amenity for Whidbey Island residents and visitors to the area. The course offers a straightforward test suitable for players of varying abilities, functioning as both a practice venue for regular golfers and an accessible introduction to the game. Its location makes it a convenient option for those staying on the island or passing through the southern ferry terminal, providing a casual round in a setting defined more by its natural island character than by architectural ambition or competitive pedigree.
