Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington

The Gallery Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par 72 course that measures 6,332 yards from the back tees, and a rating of 70.2 with a slope of 122.  The golf course was first opened in 1948 but the designer is unknown.
The course overlooks the Puget Sound and features spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.  I found the views of the ocean to be outstanding.  The terrain is predominately flat on the front 9 holes with wide open fairways. The back 9 holes are hilly, tree lined and have several water hazards.  The course has sand bunkers located throughout.  The greens are small, undulating and very fast.
The golf course is also open to the public.
