Legion Memorial Golf Course

About this course
Legion Memorial Golf Course sits in Everett, Washington, a city north of Seattle along Puget Sound. Designed by John Steidel and opened in the mid-twentieth century, the course was established as a municipal facility to honor local veterans. The layout occupies rolling terrain typical of the region, with mature tree-lined fairways and views that reflect the Pacific Northwest landscape. Steidel, a regional architect active in Washington during the post-war era, created a straightforward parkland design suited to public play. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, offering a mix of uphill and downhill holes that test club selection and course management. Fairways are generally tree-defined, requiring accuracy off the tee, while greens are modest in size and protected by bunkers that reflect the era's design conventions. The course serves a broad community of golfers, from beginners to experienced players, and maintains the accessible, unpretentious character common to municipal facilities in the region. Legion Memorial remains a fixture in Everett's recreational landscape, providing affordable golf in a setting that balances playability with enough challenge to keep regular visitors engaged. Its dedication to veterans gives the course a civic identity beyond its design, connecting it to the community it serves. The facility continues to operate as a public course, maintaining its role as a welcoming entry point to the game in the greater Seattle area.

Getting there
The journey to Legion Memorial Golf Course begins at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, roughly forty minutes north along Interstate 5 through the industrial corridor and suburban sprawl of the Puget Sound basin. As the highway climbs gently toward Everett, the Cascade foothills emerge to the east, and the route transitions from urban density to the quieter residential fabric of Snohomish County. The course itself sits tucked into the hillside above the city, a modest municipal treasure where the approach reveals sweeping views of the sound and a layout that has served the community with quiet dignity since 1934.
