Sand Point Country Club

Detailed description of Sand Point Country Club

Sand Point Country Club is a Private 18 hole golf course located in Seattle, Washington.

Sand Point Country Club’s 6,200-yard, 18-hole golf course is perched above the shores of Lake Washington. Opened in 1927, the layout in northeast Seattle was designed by British golf architect Francis L. James, who crafted several prestigious, early-day Northwest courses. 

In 2020, the former tree-lined layout underwent a major remodel overseen by Scottish golf architect David McLay Kidd. The work involved a complete redesign of two holes, major alterations to 10 greens, tee and bunker renovations, 57 percent more short-cut fairway turf, and 15 acres of native areas. Members and guests now face firm-and-fast playing conditions, slick/tilting putting surfaces, and over 90 fairway and greenside bunkers.

Yet the course’s hillside locale remains its predominant feature, leading to rolling terrain and tricky sidehill lies requiring every shot in the bag. On clear days Sand Point players enjoy views that stretch from Mount Baker near the Canadian border southward to Mount Rainier. There are very few golf courses anywhere blessed with such a spectacular locale.

Warm-up before your round at the covered driving range, practice short-game area, and putting green. Sand Point also features a full-service pro shop with a comprehensive supply of golf merchandise – from balls to gloves to clubs for all skill levels and ages.
