Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club

Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club sits on the Semiahmoo Resort peninsula in Blaine, WA, at the far northwestern corner of the continental United States, a short distance from the Canadian border near White Rock, BC. The course, an Arnold Palmer design with Ed Seay, opened for play in the mid-1980s -- a tree-lined layout with water in play on several holes and 67 bunkers -- and was voted the 6th-best course in Washington by Golfweek in 2011 (a dated ranking that should not be presented as current). It should not be confused with Loomis Trail Golf Club, a separate Graham Cooke-designed course about four miles inland that was historically part of the same ownership group but has been independently owned and operated by the Lummi Indian Business Council since 2018 -- a real entity-identity distinction this research confirmed and kept separate.

Membership here is genuinely private and application-based: the club's own current pricing materials (dated June 2025) confirm a $6,500 single / $9,000 family initiation fee plus monthly dues, with a lower-cost trial-membership path and separate social/tennis-only and junior-executive tiers. Crucially, this membership is not tied to home purchase in any way -- it is open to residents of the surrounding Semiahmoo Resort Association neighborhoods and to outside applicants alike, on the same terms. The residential side of the property is real and substantial: the Semiahmoo Resort Association governs 27 separately gated neighborhoods across the peninsula, spanning waterfront condominiums, wooded golf-course lots (Gleneagle Villas directly borders the 15th fairway), and custom single-family homes, with prices ranging from roughly the $350,000s for smaller condos to $4M+ for custom waterfront homes. The hotel side of the resort now operates under Wyndham's Trademark Collection brand, day-to-day managed by Seattle-based Columbia Hospitality; no evidence was found this session that this hotel-branding change altered the golf club's separate membership structure, though buyers should confirm this directly given how recent it is.
