Club of the Year Award

2025 Recipient

Lake Padden Ladies Twilight League

We are pleased to announce that the Lake Padden Ladies Twilight League has been named the 2025 Washington Golf Club of the Year. This club exemplifies inclusivity, innovation, and a commitment to building a fun community. Their commitment to making golf fun and providing clinics for all skill levels has helped to grow their club to over 100 members in a few short years.

Beyond their work on the course, this club also has a strong commitment to supporting the greater Bellingham community. Funds from their annual golf tournament are donated to Blue Skies for Children in addition to a clothing drive for the same charity.

One program the club has had success with was the creation of “Dance Cards.” Each member is encouraged to take a “Dance Card” and collect the names of different players in the club. At the end of the season banquet, the member with the most names collected wins.

One member shared, “Great group of women where everyone is welcome. The members are very supportive of each other to ensure everyone has a great time.”

We are thrilled to honor the Lake Padden Ladies Twilight League as the 2025 Washington Golf Club of the Year and are grateful for their contributions to the game and their community. Congratulations!
