SEMIAHMOO RESORT, WASHINGTON

Golf

Semiahmoo Resort features two of the Northwest’s finest courses that embody the pristine beauty of this dazzling region. Nestled in stands of cedar and fir with stunning bay and mountain views, these courses are a magical blend of unspoiled nature and resort amenities. Grazing deer and soaring eagles often provide a wonderfully distracting gallery.

Semiahmoo Course: Designed in 1986 by legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, the Semiahmoo Golf Course incorporates the beauty of the natural surroundings into one of the country’s most spectacular golf courses. In 1987, it was cited by Golf Digest as the "Best New Resort Course in America."

Immaculately manicured fairways lead through cedar and fir lined forests to challenging contoured greens that are surrounded by white sand bunkers. Tee box placements adjust the degree of difficulty to make the course playable for golfers of all skill levels. Yet, at 7,005 yards from the tips, Arnold Palmer has created a golf course that challenges even tour players, who consistently rank it as one of the best.

Loomis Trail Course: Selected by Golf Digest as one of the "Top Three New Private Courses in America," Loomis Trail is a spectacular achievement for its Canadian designer Graham Cooke. Recently purchased by Resort Semiahmoo, the course can now be played by non-members on even days of the month.

While its scenic beauty is undeniable, the consistently smooth, fast and true greens are what place Loomis Trail among the northwest’s elite courses. With the second highest slope rating in Washington State, Loomis Trail is not only exceptionally groomed, it is also challenging, with water coming into play on every hole. However, the bentgrass fairways reward the well-played shot with an excellent stance and lie. Designed with one of the best drainage systems in the Pacific Northwest, Loomis Trail is a delight to play any time of the year.
