Raspberry Ridge Golf Course – Nine Holes of Year-Round Value in Everson, WA

Halfway between Bellingham and Lynden on Hannegan Road, Raspberry Ridge Golf Course proves that a well-kept nine-holer can deliver championship-level conditioning without championship-level green fees. Built on gently rolling farmland in 1984 by Pacific Northwest designer William Overdorf, Raspberry Ridge measures 2,825 yards from the back tees, plays to a par 34, and earns a 67.3/110 USGA rating—testing enough for accomplished players, yet welcoming to newcomers.

Front-Nine Highlights (the Whole Loop)

Because Raspberry Ridge is a nine-hole layout played once or twice per round, every hole matters:

Hole	Par	Yards	Personality
1	4	392	Straight opener; OB right, gentle dogleg left to a receptive green.
2	4	305	Risk-reward: long iron for position or driver over a corner bunker.
3	3	194	Slightly elevated tee; wind off nearby farmland can alter clubs.
4	4	336	Water lurks left; smart players lay back for a wedge.
5	3	178	Only mid-iron par-3; pond short intimidates but green is generous.
6	4	314	Drivable for big hitters, but front bunker swallows mishits.
7	5	525	Longest hole; fairway necks near lay-up zone. Birdies earned, not given.
8	4	379	Trees pinch landing; approach must clear a subtle false front.
9	5	502	Dogleg right to clubhouse patio—perfect finish before heading to the grill.

Why Locals Love Raspberry Ridge Golf Course

Tournament-level conditions, daily – The owners tout “excellent drainage”; even after Pacific-Northwest deluges the fairways stay firm, and greens roll faster than muni norms.
Unbeatable value – Join the “12 Buck Club” and walk nine for $12 or eighteen for $19 any day of the week after an upfront $200 fee. Seniors, juniors, and Youth on Course players see additional breaks.
Quick, fun routing – A sub-3,000-yard card means a relaxed walking loop under two hours, yet water hazards and smartly placed bunkers keep single-digit golfers honest.

Leagues – Senior men, ladies, couples, and a popular Tuesday “12 Buck Club” league run March–October.
PGA Instruction – On-staff pros offer private lessons and junior clinics in summer.

Raspberry Ridge Grill

Open seven days a week, the Raspberry Ridge Grill is more than an after-round snack shack.

The full-service kitchen caters league banquets and neighborhood events, making the clubhouse a community hub even for non-golfers.
