The Lynden area is virtually paradise for golfers. One of the best golf courses in the Pacific Northwest is at Lynden’s Homestead Golf & Country Club, featuring a par-5 island green with waterfalls on its 18th hole. If you’re really seeking a challenge, shoot from the black tees – a 6,927-yard test. The course has been open only since 1993, but already draws top state and regional tournaments. It was rated a four-star course in Golf Digest’s Places to Play 2002 edition.
