| Course Fact |
The Home Course is cooperatively owned by the Pacific North West and Washington State Golf Associations. The land on which The Home Course was built was occupied by several Native American tribes known collectively as the Salish people. Following the arrival of European settlers, it housed a trading and supply center for the Hudson’s Bay Company. The PNGA’s historical research indicates that the company’s traders created a six-hole layout around a fort that may have been the first golf course in the Northwest. |
