Inglewood Golf Club

Inglewood Golf Club has operated on a piece of Kenmore, Washington Seattle northeast-suburban land since 1919. The course is one of the older Seattle-area country clubs and remains a regional Pacific Northwest private institution. Inglewood's original routing has been redesigned multiple times since the 1919 opening, with significant work through subsequent decades and continuing agronomic-and-architectural updates. The club is part of the broader Seattle-area country-club cluster that includes Seattle Golf Club (1900), Sahalee (1969, 1998 PGA host), Broadmoor, and Glendale.

The course plays around 6,700 yards par 72 from the back markers, with bent fairways and a slope in the upper 130s. The yardage is short by modern championship standards, but the routing's mature Douglas fir canopy alongside the corridors gives the course defense that the back-tee yardage doesn't convey. The fairways play firm given the Western Washington subsoil that drains slowly through the wet season. The fifteenth hole is a 432-yard par-4 with a tee shot played over a creek; the seventeenth, a 198-yard par-3 across a natural depression, is the routing's most-discussed one-shotter.

Inglewood Golf Club is private and access is members and accompanied guests only. The membership is regional Seattle northeast-suburban business and professional families with multi-generation ties through the club's pre-Depression founding. The hospitality model is traditional country club, and the club has stayed largely outside the destination-private trend.

Pacific Northwest climate gives Inglewood a playing season of March through November, with the firmest conditions in August and September. The course operates through the wet winter months with reduced play but rarely closes completely. The Douglas fir canopy through the property gives the routing its distinct Pacific Northwest visual character.
