Type Public
Par 72
Length 6234 yards

Rating 71.3

Camaloch Golf Course is located within the Puget Sound "Sun Belt," which receives only half of the nearby rainfall of nearby courses. Its location on Camano Island also puts it at an advantage during the summer months when the temperatures rise up to the 90s on the mainland, the golf course stays cool thanks to the coastal breezes. The course first opened with nine holes in 1972 and expanded to an 18-hole course in 1991. Known for its smooth and consistent greens, Camaloch G.C. has long been a local favorite. The layout starts with a gentler front nine that features wide fairways and fewer hazards. The back nine becomes much more difficult with several holes that play over water. Camaloch Golf Course's undulating greens putt fast and true, and they are often accompanied by strategically placed bunkers.

Bang for the buck!

You would be hard pressed to find a golf course anywhere that offers a more playable, cost friendly experience. Did I mention the conditions were amazing???

Definitely off the beaten path but well worth the trip!

Course Management

If would have stopped after 9 holes the review above would have been better.
My son and I drove from Bothell WA ( 40 miles ) to play and were really looking forward to it. The front nine was fine no waiting at all. But on the back nine all of a sudden we have thee groups ahead of us and we had to wait over 10minutes per hole. The reason is because these people were jumping around to different holes instead of playing the course correctly. If a Marshal would have been present maybe something could have been done. It spoiled a good day. I play allot of golf with allot of different people and when asked about playing Camaloch I will be honest. ( Don't) We spent a $100 dollars to play plus another $40 on food and beverage. I can play just as good or better courses closer to home. It's to bad because it is a nice course.

this course has alot to offer.

Made the reservation with golfnow for the next day, arrived a little early, the staff could not have been more pleasant and got us out right away, ahead of a club event so we wouldn't have to wait around. The course was in great shape, ordered food at the turn from a phone at the ninth tee box, It was ready by the time we got down there and the whole day was really pleasant. try it, you'll like it.

Nice challenging course

Course management is the most important skill required here. Both short- and long-game are challenged. Holes 12 thru 16 take full concentration and precise shot-making.

Nice round

First time out there. Course played well. The greens were excellent & challenging. I liked the grass off the greens, very easy to chip from. The club house food looked great & they had many beers on tap. Looking forward to playing here again.

Unorganized and chaotic

Showed up and was told they didn't have a cart available due to a tournament earlier in the day even though I prepaid for one on-line. I was told that If I wanted a cart I would have to wait until after 2:00 and there was a waiting list of 7 groups requesting carts before me. We cancelled through Golf Now didn't play and will never go back again

Nice, but holes are a little tight together

Mostly flat with very nice greens. Some narrow fairways and some interesting holes.

Excellent greens!!!

First time there and was very impressed. Course was in great shape and staff in new restaurant great. The bunkers had real sand, not the usual gray sludge in many NW courses.

Great overall course

I absolutely love playing this course. I feel it's quite a good value for the money. Accessible for all skill levels, but has some unique holes that make you stop and think before hitting. Well-maintained, though downhill putts seem to roll slower than you would think. Friendly staff across the board, from the pro shop to the newly-opened restaurant, The Rockaway Bar and Grill. Plus its always scenic driving out to Camano Island. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you give Camaloch a try.

Slow Play

Course was in the best condition I have ever seen. Unfortunately no one enjoys a round exceeding 5 hours except the inconsiderate golfers holding up play. The indifference of the Pro once they have your money is apparent with no marshall on the Course.

Some of the best greens around for the price and location.

I always enjoy spending a day with friends on this course to get away from work and other distractions. The round will begin with a long dogleg left hole, but can make a super start to the game.

My Day at Camaloch

Course was fairly dry except for some fairways but still was not slushy or overly muddy considering the recent record-breaking rainfall. (Great not to have mud all over my pant legs!). There was a touch of wind that was significant for some shots. Green conditions were dry and excellent; also the greens were very challenging to read. This is the first time I played an 18-hole round here. Players must drive the ball well in order to score as the rough is very thick and heavy because of the rainfall, and some fairways are quite narrow. Thoroughly enjoyed my round, and I drove over an hour to get there. Looking forward to my next opportunity to play this course..

cours review

Great vaule. Course was still pretty soggy from recent rains. Lots of balls getting plugged in the middle of the fairways. Tee boxes had not been moved in a few days, they were semi beat up.
Fairways need to be mowed. Greens were in excellant condition.
