Everett Golf & Country Club – A Storied Evergreen Landmark in Snohomish County

Since 1910, Everett Golf & Country Club has held court atop the bluffs overlooking Everett, offering a private, tree-lined golf experience that’s steeped in Pacific Northwest history  . Known simply as “The Country Club” to locals, its gently rolling fairways, small sloping greens, and mature Douglas firs create a classic Northwest layout that has stood the test of time—including hosting PGA Tour‑level events like the Seattle Open Invitational  .

Evolving from a nine-hole farmhouse course in 1910 to a full 18-hole layout by the 1930s, the club was reshaped in the 1960s by famed architect Ted Robinson Sr.  . Today, the course stretches over a compact yet strategic par‑71 layout, offering challenge and charm without overwhelming length.
