Golf in Anderson Island

Anderson Island is a Pierce County island community in the southern Puget Sound, accessible only by ferry from Steilacoom. The island's small permanent community — several hundred year-round residents with a substantially larger seasonal population — creates an intimate Pacific Northwest island community. The South Sound's waterways and the forested island landscape create the natural environment where golf serves the island's residential community. Anderson Island's separation from the mainland and the pastoral farm landscape preserved by community effort create a distinctive South Puget Sound island identity. The broader Washington community's investment in recreational infrastructure reflects the Pacific Northwest's commitment to outdoor quality of life, and the local golf course serves the full range of the state's population — professional, working, military, and agricultural — in a landscape of genuine natural distinction.
