Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club

Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club sits on a peninsula in Blaine, Washington, near the Canadian border where Drayton Harbor meets Semiahmoo Bay. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay designed the course, which opened in 1986 as part of a larger resort development. The property occupies a distinctive setting between water and wetlands, with views across to the San Juan Islands and British Columbia's coastal mountains. The routing takes advantage of the low-lying terrain, incorporating natural water features and marshland areas that define several holes. The course plays through a mix of open and wooded sections, with the Pacific Northwest landscape providing a backdrop of Douglas fir and cedar. Several holes run along or near the water, while others move through more protected corridors. The design reflects Palmer and Seay's approach from that era, emphasizing strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach play. Semiahmoo serves both resort guests and club members, functioning as a destination course in the northwest corner of Washington. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that overlooks the water. The course has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, though it remains primarily a daily-fee and resort amenity rather than a tournament venue. Its location near the border makes it accessible to golfers from both the Seattle area and southwestern British Columbia.
