About Avalon Golf Links

Avalon is three nines, called North, South and West, and you play two of them for your 18. Robert Muir Graves designed all three, the club opened in 1991, and each nine is a par 36, so whichever pair you get it's a par 72. The ground rolls, and the course sits above the Skagit Valley with the Olympic and Cascade ranges out on the horizon. It's about an hour north of Seattle, just outside Burlington.

It has done real tournament duty. Avalon hosted U.S. Open qualifiers in 1994 and 2001, the Pacific Northwest PGA's senior title in 2007 and the section's PGA Championship in 2009. Warm up on the grass-tee putting green, the chipping and pitching green or the matted range, and there's a restaurant for after, a beverage cart during, and pull carts if you'd rather walk.

It's one of 8 courses Yoink watches in the Bellingham & Skagit Valley area, and the closest alternative is Swinomish Golf Links, about 10 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
