Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club
Lush Fairways
Designed by Arnold Palmer, Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club is Washington's #3 public course as rated by Golf Digest, 2005. This tree-lined masterpiece allows you to relax and enjoy nature at its best. The golfing challenge is second to none, with water in play on five holes and 67 strategically placed bunkers. The fairways are rolling and generous, with fast and challenging greens. Tee box placements adjust the degree of difficulty to make the course playable for golfers of all skill levels, yet at 7,005 yards from the tips, this course challenges even tour players. Semiahmoo is open to the public on odd days of the month.
The Semiahmoo Golf Course offers a driving range and putting and chipping greens. Our well appointed Pro Shop and clubhouse includes a restaurant, lounge, snack bar and banquet room, plus a new outdoor event pavilion. Men's and women's locker room facilities are complete with exercise equipment, showers, and sauna.

Cottages By The Beach
Two superb vacation rentals in Birch Bay Washington, Seashell & Lora’s Cottages, are mere seconds to the warmest & safest beach waters of the Pacific Northwest! Whether you’re looking for an exceptional family vacation / holiday spot, a romantic getaway, or a retreat for the extended family or friends, you’re sure to appreciate these thoughtfully restored, delightful vintage cottages. Seashell
Cottage sleeps 11 comfortably in 3 winsome bedrooms & on sofa beds in the living room & family room. Lora’s Cottage has two cheerful bedrooms & sleeps up to 6. Each cottage boasts a sparkling new kitchen, new appliances, & all you need to cook & serve, whether snacks or dinner. No need to pack linens, just pack your clothes & go! Single storied cottages make for ease for everyone from tots to elders. Each cottage has more than an ample yard
for your family picnics, BBQ’s, outdoor games &
play plus lots of privacy. And yes, you can rent both cottages to sleep up to 17. The cottages are separated by a mere narrow lane. Don’t let “lots of privacy” sound like “boring!” The cottages are definitely not off the beaten path. They’re in the
Heart of Old Birch Bay, the heart of the fun. And
while Birch Bay is a resort area, it’s not artificial - it’s quaint, laid - back & unspoiled. You’ll never be out of sight or sound of the rippling tidal waters as you walk to the old fashioned Coffee House for a refreshing beverage & then on to the “C” shop to watch your chocolates being crafted by European trained chocolatiers! Really, it’s no mystery why Birch Bay boasts these warmest & safest of waters! The largest tide flat in Washington State sits & bakes in the sun, day after day. It’s one of Washington’s best - kept secrets! Picture is of private beach Both cottages are seconds from public beach with well over a mile of unrestricted beach access. Lora’s Cottage also has private beach, accessible via a gated wooden footbridge where you’ll have your pick of the seashells & clams. (claming license required). On a misty morn you might see a Great Blue Heron hunched on the bridge rails, but do watch your step -- Killdeers nest along the way. Don’t be surprised to waken to the distinctive chirp of eagles right across from the cottages. For a bit of history trivia, the beach at the mouth of Terrill Creek is the historic site of George Vancouver’s landing in 1792. Vancouver set up camp for two (?) months at the site where our cottages are located as his base for exploration of our region. Watch eagles from the comfort of our cottages. Their favorite perches from which they dive to the water for their dinner, squabble with each other (females are bigger than males) & chase off gangs of pesky crows, are right across from Lora’s & within sight of Seashell. We know that for those special getaways & occasions, you’re looking for that “something extra” touch. So we offer half a dozen, not your ordinary cinnamon rolls, included in the price of your off season stay. They’re huge, fluffy & fragrant, smothered in the perfect finger – smackin’ blend of cream cheese frosting, baked fresh & delivered to the cottages. You can order all sorts of other goodies from our prize-winning cinnamon roll baker, just ask us when you book your reservation. Our goal -- an old fashioned vacation with the comforts of today!
