About this course
North Bellingham Golf Course is a public 18-hole course in Bellingham, Washington, built on the former Wilder Ranch and opened in July 1995 by Caitac USA Corp. It was designed by architect Ted Locke, who aimed to preserve the open, rolling character of the farmland site rather than adding trees or hills.
The course plays as a links-style layout with broad fairways, flowering meadows and firm turf, allowing running approach shots on many greens. It measures about 6,793 yards from the back tees at a par of 72, and prevailing winds off the open terrain are a defining feature, along with water hazards that come into play on numerous holes. Panoramic views of Mount Baker are visible from several holes.
