This course, built on an Orcas island in the picturesque San Juan Islands, offers a variety of challenges for both professional and amateur golfers alike. Water hazards (a lake, three ponds, and a stream) come into play on several holes. The greens are kept in excellent condition. Due to the alternating tee boxes and the way in which the course was designed, you'll feel that you're playing a completely different nine hole course your second time around. For golfing environmentalists, this course has a state-of-the-art fertilization technique that uses no pesticides or herbicides on either the fairways or greens. The course is naturally fertilized with the mineral waters from the adjacent ponds.
