The par-72 layout plays about 6,575 yards from the back tees near Lake Padden Park in south Bellingham.

Delta, CO

Designed by Rick Phelps of Phelps Golf Design and built with Niebur Golf, the course opened for play on July 21, 2001, after the city decided a new course made more sense than expanding its old nine-hole Cottonwood Golf Course. The prairie-style links layout is set among adobe hills with views of the surrounding mountains and the Uncompahgre Valley, and it finished second in Golf Digest's Best New Affordable Public Course rankings for 2002.
