Orcas Island Country Golf Club

Detailed description of Orcas Island Country Golf Club

Orcas Island Country Golf Club is a Public, 9 hole golf course located in Eastsound, Washington.

Orcas Island Country Golf Club first opened for play in 1969.

This course, built on an island, offers a variety of challenges. Water hazards (a lake, three ponds, and a stream) come into play on several holes.  The greens are kept in excellent condition.  

There are additional sets of tees that can be used when playing an eighteen hole round. Because of the alternating tee boxes and the way in which the course was designed, you'll feel that you're playing a completely different nine hole course your second time around.

For golfing environmentalists, this course has a state-of-the-art fertilization technique that uses no pesticides or herbicides on either the fairways or greens.  The course is naturally fertilized with the mineral waters from the adjacent ponds.  

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees, the course plays to 3002 yards. The longest hole on the course is #1, a 501 yard par-5. The shortest hole on the course is #7, a 162 yard par-3.
