Washington National Golf Club

Washington National Golf Club opened in 2000, designed by John Fought, the 1977 U.S. Amateur champion who became an acclaimed golf course architect. Fought built the course on rolling terrain in Auburn, south of Seattle, taking advantage of natural elevation changes and panoramic views of Mount Rainier and the Cascade Range.

Fought's design features an exceptional array of contrasting aesthetics — wide fairways and bold bunkering on some holes, tight tree-lined corridors on others. The championship layout quickly earned recognition as one of the top public courses in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest.

Washington National consistently ranks among the best public golf experiences in the region, offering a genuine championship test at accessible daily-fee pricing.

Washington National offers championship golf with stunning Cascade Range and Mount Rainier views on rolling terrain. Fought's varied design keeps every hole interesting, mixing open holes with wooded corridors. At 7,304 yards from the tips it is a serious test.

The course is accessible at public daily-fee pricing, making it one of the best values in Pacific Northwest golf.

The Pacific Northwest weather means rain is common. Pack rain gear and expect soft conditions in the cooler months. Summer offers dry, firm conditions and the best mountain views.

Fought's varied hole designs require different strategies. Some holes reward aggressive play while others demand precision. Pay attention to the contrasting styles.
