Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland
Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland. At Anacortes, the course presents 18 holes of exposed terrain where wind is not a variable but a participant. Ground game matters here. Trajectory, spin, and bounce are decisions you make before you take the club back. Four par 5s give you chances to score. Four par 3s make you earn it. The 16th plays as the toughest test on the card. A mid-length par 4 where the wind tends to have opinions. Flat terrain makes for easy walking, though pace can stretch on busy days. Worth planning for an early tee time. Restaurant on-site for the post-round debrief.
