About North Bellingham Golf Course
North Bellingham Golf Course opened in July 1995, developed by Caitac USA Corp. as a public golf facility serving Whatcom County residents and visitors.
Designed by Ted Locke, the 18-hole layout was shaped to work with the open field character of the historic Wilder Ranch. Flowering meadows and gently rolling fairways define the Scottish-style links terrain, with panoramic views of Mt. Baker. Prevailing winds sweeping across the open landscape add a significant challenge.
