Sudden Valley
Sudden Valley Golf & Country Club is home to a good quality Ted Robinson-designed golf course, popular with local golfers.
The layout's front-nine loop plays through relatively open and flat terrain, with the par-4 5th bringing you to the shoreline of Lake Whatcom. The green of this gently doglegging hole juts out into the lake. Fairway landing areas are relatively generous and the greens are large.
By contrast, the back-nine is considerably more challenging and undulating. This "inward" loop follows a ridge uphill with narrow evergreen-fringed fairways and smaller greens. Finesse and accuracy are more in demand on this closing stretch.
Spread through the course you'll find water hazards threatening on fourteen of the eighteen holes and bunkers also liberally sprinkled around the greens and along some fairways.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Good
Lake Whatcom, which you'll see from many parts of the course, is a good size lake measuring 10 miles long by a mile wide. It is used as the drinking water reservoir for the nearby city of Bellingham. Connecting the lake to Bellingham Bay is Whatcom Creek, which unobtrusively meanders its way through the Bellingham.
