Seattle Golf Club

Seattle Golf Club, cradled in the Shoreline area north of Seattle, stands as a testament to understated Northwest golfing tradition. The club, a bastion of unpretentious exclusivity, prizes itself on a challenging, member-centric experience over chasing championship glory. Designed by famed architect A. Vernon Macan in the early 20th century, the course winds through a classic parkland landscape. Undulating fairways bordered by mature evergreens present a strategic test, rewarding thoughtful shot placement rather than brute power. Its smaller greens require a delicate touch, especially those approaching from sharp angles on dog leg holes. While lacking the length to host modern tour events, the course's subtle defenses and demanding green complexes continue to challenge players of all skill levels. Though Seattle Golf Club remains largely outside the national spotlight, it holds a revered place within the Pacific Northwest golfing community. It maintains a loyal membership known for its deep appreciation of the game's traditions, fostering a convivial atmosphere that extends from the first tee to the celebrated post-round camaraderie in the clubhouse. And while it has never hosted any national championships it does offer views of Puget Sound through the canopy.
