Glendale Country Club

Bellevue sits in a landscape shaped by glacial geology, and the rolling, wooded terrain that defines the area gives courses here a natural sense of separation from the surrounding suburban fabric. Expect Pacific Northwest conditions: lush, firm-but-forgiving fairways through much of the year, tree-lined corridors of Douglas fir and cedar, and the soft grey light that makes this corner of Washington genuinely beautiful even when the weather demands a rain jacket.

As a members-only club playing to a par 72, Glendale rewards regulars who learn its rhythms and subtleties over a lifetime of rounds — exactly the kind of course that defines the private club experience at its most genuine.
