The Sudden Valley golf course was designed by Ted Robinson, of Westlake Village, California, to be the centerpiece for the private community of Sudden Valley. Rated "Four Stars" by Golf Digest, Sudden Valley has been requested as the site of many major Northwest tournaments including a Washington State Open, four Washington State Men's Amateur Championships, a Master-40, a Washington State Senior Women's Championship, the Men's Mid-Am and numerous PNWPGA Pro-Amateur tournaments.

The front nine is relatively open and flat and borders the shores of Lake Whatcom. Fairway landing areas are relatively generous and the greens are large. However, the back nine follows a ridge uphill with narrow evergreen-fringed fairways and smaller greens that have more character. Sudden Valley is considered a true masterpiece, stressing finesse and accuracy with water hazards on fourteen of the eighteen holes and some forty-seven bunkers sprinkled throughout the course. It's a golfing experience you will not soon forget!

Golf Director, Greg Paul, tests the new putting green with his son Taylor while Chad Bond, Assistant Superintendant, mows.
