North Bellingham Golf Course

North Bellingham Golf Course is an 18-hole public facility opened in July 1995 on the historic Wilder Ranch in Bellingham, Washington. Designed by Ted Locke, the course integrates the ranch's natural open field characteristics with flowering meadows and gently rolling fairways. The layout emphasizes Scottish links-style golf, featuring panoramic views of Mt. Baker as a distinctive backdrop. The course is defined by its challenging prevailing winds that sweep across the landscape, creating a links-course aesthetic and difficulty. The terrain showcases the natural topography of the region with strategic use of the meadow setting. The course serves as a public facility for Whatcom County residents and visitors, offering a distinctive playing experience that balances the property's historical agricultural heritage with modern golf course design principles.
