1st time playing here, and for the cost it was very nice. The layout is interesting with elevation changes and some good views. The greens were good and I appreciated they keep the course how nature gives it, it was late July and the fairways were brownish and fast, just as a links style course is supposed to be! no extra watering. I will definitely play it again.

I agree. Mosquitoes were horrendous. Bug spray $14. Nice greens.

The mosquitoes are horrendous, none of the employees at the club house warn you about them when you check in. They do sell a small bottle of bug spray for $8 to make the back 9 not miserable. The green golf carts are rickety junk that have warn/ failing parts in the front end. Its like you are driving 18 holes on a flat tire just it just pulls the cart around.

Not a horrible course. A few of the fairways are in rough shape as of 7/30/2023. Greens were nice. Only giving it three starts because it's 67 bucks for a round and cart rental. For that price, from what I've seen at other courses, it's not worth it.

Great staff, fun course. But you’d think if you rented clubs for the money you spend they’d be better then some cheap Amazon set, a full set and at least clean.

Worth it if you’ve brought your own stuff

Staff does not take the time to help or accommodate. Prices go up every other day, and you can't even get out as a solo golfer when the course is empty. They'll charge you full price on everything meanwhile the course is in rough shape. I'll stick with sudden valley or avalon for around the same prices.

Fun course and 2 wonderful ladies, locals, we were paired with. Greens were almost perfect. Fairways ok, some rough patches but we enjoyed our round so much they didn't bother us. Not at all like the snooty course we played a few days ago and were made to feel unwelcome.

Really gone downhill in the last few years. Played it today and I should have worn a kidney belt. Carts were nice but the fairways and cart paths were ridiculously bumpy. Greens were OK. Spend a few bucks more and head to Avalon. Definitely not a destination course anymore.

I went to 3rd grade at Fidalgo Elementary in the 1961-62 school year when this course was called the Smilk Beach Golf Course. It's the first golf course I ever played. My dad had just bought his first set of golf clubs and I used his seven iron two or three times on every hole while he was figuring out how to play golf. A year later he got a membership at the Skagit Valley Country Club which was then only nine holes and I played there for three years with a women's Louise Suggs starter set that he bought for my mom. She took two or three lessons and found out she had disc issues in her back so never learned to play. We had family memberships at Kitsap Golf and Country Club (five years), a course called Sun Meadows in Houston for four years (7,000 yards), Useless Bay Golf and Country Club for about fifteen years and another fifteen years at Whidbey Country Club in Oak Harbor where my dad played until he was too old to swing a club. My youngest brother, Brion, has been head pro and Director of Golf at Useless Bay for about fifteen years now. My wife and I spent a week in the San Juans last summer and drove by the Swinomish Links both coming and going. Next time through I'll bring my clubs along.

Great course, the fairways are wide open, I always enjoy golfing here. Beautiful views of the ocean, and oil refineries. Too you can find a bunch of balls, so that automatically makes it an outstanding course.

Fun course, not to long and I assume its windy most of the time because of its location between the bodies of water. Which makes it a bit longer. I know it's not easy for us guys, but to play in the wind you need to grab an extra club or two and swing easy to flight it low. Even with the driver, swing easy to flight it lower. Overall friendly folks running the course, with cool views, dont understand why it wasnt more crowded. But It was our gain having a wide open course

They have done a nice job making changes to the course. It's been years since I have golfed there. Good variety. Still a little confusing so if it's your first time be sure to take a score card to see the map. My only two complaints were bathrooms were not clean... outhouse over full, and the fairways are really bumpy.

We have noticed a downward change since the Tribe took it over..But I think that may change as they figure out how to manage a golf course. The real problum with this course has always been the fairways...They are supper rough, you almost need a kidney belt. I like the new carts though.

The course has been in a continual state of upgrade, new practice area and greens , improved drainage and new equipment to maintain the property. Thanks for a great experience !

We stay at the RV Park @ the Swinomish, usually in the fall or winter. So I had never played the Golf Links. So we went up there this past week, unfortunately they plugged the greens.... I decided to play anyway. I am so glad I did. The coarse was in good shape. The Customer Service @ the Clubhouse was awesome. I had a great round and experience.

Ever since the casino took ownership of this course I think it has gone downhill. I miss Similk Beach Golf Course. This is the course I basically learned how to play golf and I miss the old course before the Casino bought it and started over charging. Went and played 9 holes on a Saturday and the round took a little over 3 hours! If you know anything about golf, for 9 holes this is absolutely ridiculous. They did mention it was going to be slow, but still, this is unacceptable. Also, my friend and I went there for his birthday. Most courses I know in the area offer a free birthday round or a discount, but not here. For 9 holes, 2 carts, and our significant others (who just rode in the cart, no playing) it was just under $100 dollars. Overall, the course was in OK shape, the staff were friendly, but won't be coming back).

If you are looking for nicer courses and more reasonable rates check out Gleneagle (Arlington), Cedarcrest (Marysville), Avalon (Little Expensive).

As a visitor to the area, I find the 3.8 overall rating a bit low. No, this is not a resort course, but it is a fun and challenging golf course with a friendly, helpful staff and everything you need to have a good round of golf. The long, controlled hitters will most likely find this course easy, but for the mid-handicapper it can be a test even though it is only 6100+ yards. Course is the bumpiest I ever rode, but the fairways and greens are in great shape and the greens putt fairly fast, but true. Best to keep it in the short grass or prepare to pay the price. The rough is mowed, but it's lush and will eat you alive if you make a habit. If you've never played the course it will be to your advantage to ask to be paired with those who have knowledge of the layout. I will definitely play here again and recommend it anyone who enjoys the game.

I believe the reviewer who criticized the "unmowed fairways" does not understand that the new management has added some features that have a lot in common with a links-type course (hence the name of the course!). These areas of long grass are left long on purpose, are not part of the fairways, and are hazards to be avoided. Could be the reviewer doesn't always hit the fairway?

Source: Google

The greens were in great shape, the tee boxes also, but many areas of the fairways....were not mowed. I have played this course for almost 40 years and am saddened to see how they have decided to not maintain many areas of the golf course. It has always been a fun and beautiful course, but many areas are now allowed to grow wild and look very shabby. I have enjoyed many fun rounds here over the years, but the impression my last round left is one that saddens me. The course isn't what it use to be at all.
