About this course

Point Roberts Golf & Country Club occupies a distinctive geographic position on a small peninsula that extends south from British Columbia into Washington State, creating an American enclave accessible by land only through Canada. Graham Cooke designed this nine-hole layout that takes advantage of the flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of the area's coastal plain. The course sits near sea level with views across Boundary Bay and the surrounding waters that define this unusual border community. The routing works with the natural topography and prevailing winds that come off the water. Cooke's design incorporates strategic bunkering and water features on several holes, asking players to manage their ball flight in conditions that can shift quickly given the marine influence. The course plays to different yardages depending on tee selection, and like many nine-hole facilities, it offers varied tee positions for those playing a full eighteen holes. Point Roberts serves a membership drawn from both sides of the international border, reflecting the unique character of this community where Canadian and American residents share recreational facilities. The club functions as a social hub for the small year-round population and seasonal visitors. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a setting defined more by its geographic curiosity and waterfront location than by dramatic elevation changes or severe hazards.

Getting there

The journey to Point Roberts Golf & Country Club begins at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), roughly ninety minutes to the south, followed by a northbound drive through the Puget Sound lowlands that gradually narrows into the Blaine corridor before crossing into the quiet peninsula that is Point Roberts itself. This final approach trades suburban sprawl for rural farmland and dense Pacific Northwest forest, the road quieting as it descends toward the waters of the Strait of Georgia. Private aviation is well-served by nearby Bellingham International Airport (BLI), situated just thirty minutes south, or by the smaller strips dotting the region for those arriving by charter. The club's arrival marks the culmination of a journey into one of the continent's most geographically discrete enclaves - a thumb of American soil jutting into Canadian waters, where the transition from mainland to peninsula feels less like a drive and more like a deliberate crossing into seclusion.
