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.

Sloppy fairways

The fairways(remember it is February) were very sloppy. Spent most of our time looking for drives down the middle. They would plug severely. Absolutely the best greens we've played on in Western Washington. Once it dries out would be a very fine course. Layout is beautiful. Had a great time. Staff was awesome. Thanks for a great day.

camaloch winter play

My son and I had a very enjoyable round of golf. Pace of play was good and the course was not bad considering the amount of rain in the past weeks. The greens were holding well and rolling very well. Overall a good experience and would recommend to all level golfers.

First Timer

Course and conditions were very good. Electric carts were appreciated instead of the noisy and unpredictable gas carts. The restaurant/bar were very good and the food was very good as was the service. Our timing was off because we encountered two tournaments on the same day but they let us play around and started us on the back nine to speed our start time up. Had a great day of golf and hope to return soon.

Course was better then when played 10 years ago. Excellent fairways, greens were a bit slow but had been sanded a few days prior. Was done with 18 holes in 3.25 hours.

Camaloch

Considering the lack of rain we have had this summer, the course was in excellent shape. It's a fun course to play and the weather is usually better than elsewhere in the area. Thank you!

Nice change of pace

My wife and I played here for something different and were very happy with our choice, gave course condition a three star only because of the lack of rain otherwise with some moisture I sure this course would be nice and green! Only three stars for food and beverage cause we didn't stay and partake, but looked like people were enjoying themselves, maybe next time. Will try here again for sure.

Golf in the woods

Nice older course with lots of trees between fairways and not a lot of out of bounds. Sand traps had plenty of soft sand. Water hazards contained water. Greens were in good shape. Rained for the front nine but not too cold. Two of us played in 3 1/2 hours.

Slooooooowww, but circumstances

Played only 13 holes in just about 4 hours and 15 minutes. Had to leave and not complete the round as we had to be somewhere at a specific time.

Played here before without the time problem. Asked the staff to drive out in a cart and check out the problem was when we made the turn, but it was too late for us. Damage was done.. There was a horribly slow group with three empty holes in front of them. Staff was friendly and courteous in dealing with the situation. I believe it was a group from a scramble.

Affected by drought

My first time playing here. The fairways were dormant or dead due to the drought. Would have been a lot better if the fairways had more green grass but being from drought stricken California, I totally understand. Fairways are side by side so we had to contend with a lot of errant balls flying on our fairways...had a couple of close calls with golfers that never learned the word "fore". Greens were in good shape. It was an enjoyable day.

Excellent experience - Excellent Greens

First time I've played this course so everything was new. Course is very well marked with abundant yardage and OB markers. Front nine has wide fairways and only a few hazards. 9th hole over water. Greens are outstanding. Back nine much more difficult with several holes over water on the drive or second shot. Tree lined fairways narrow at times. Abundant directional signs to get to the next hole. Restrooms in middle of course. Oh did I mention the greens are excellent. I would play this course every time out if it wasn't so far from home for me. Proshop attendant called me out by name when I went in to register. Tim used to be at another course that I still play quite a bit. Treated me very well. I would recommend this course to weekend golfers and even those who think they are better than most. Back 9 will challenge them. I highly recommend this course for all levels of players.

Narrow fairways, but well maintained & fun to play

Course is walkable and has narrow fairways. It has well maintained fairways, bunkers and greens. It's challenging and fun. On the downside, errant shots will cost you balls or put you in another fairway. I think trying it is the only way to determine if it's right for you.

Camano Island's secret

I hesitate to be too positive with this review to keep away the masses. Camaloch has great course conditions, interesting well bunkered greens, some thought provoking water features and sneaky length considering the posted yardage. Although there are a few side by side tight holes there is plenty of room to spray the ball around as I found out. A good value that I hope to introduce to a few more friends while playing many more times.
