Overview Sammamish, WA

| Sahalee Country Club opened in 1969 to great Northwest fanfare.

Sahalee's quintessential Northwest character is reflected in our foundational pillars of World Class Golf, Vibrant Social Scene, and Family Focused Lifestyle.

Known primarily for its world‑class championship golf experience created by nationally recognized golf course architect Ted Robinson and renovated by world famous golf course architect Rees Jones, Sahalee was created to host any of the USGA, LPGA and PGA national events. In addition to our worldwide reputation for championship‑caliber golf, we offer a distinctly Northwest family lifestyle, homespun hospitality delivered by our tenured, dedicated staff.
