Golf in Lynden

Lynden is a Whatcom County city near the Canadian border with one of the largest Dutch-American communities in the Pacific Northwest. The Dutch heritage — brought by nineteenth-century Dutch immigrants who settled the Nooksack Valley for dairy farming — remains visible in the community's architecture and culture. The Nooksack Valley's extraordinary dairy farming landscape and the North Cascade Mountains visible to the east create the northwestern Washington agricultural community setting. The golf course serves the Lynden community in the pastoral Whatcom County agricultural landscape. Washington's extraordinary geographic diversity — the rain-soaked western slopes, the Puget Sound waterways, the Cascade Range's volcanic peaks, and the sun-baked eastern plateau — creates community characters as varied as the landscape, and local golf reflects each region's specific natural and economic identity.
