 "A surprisingly good value, challenge"
David Rasbach The Bellingham Herald  July 16, 2007

Don't let the laid-back atmosphere fool you. Grandview Golf Course in Custer will test most golfers. "We have a lot of people who come out here to play, such as the Whatcom Seniors, who play every course," said Roger Beckt, who has worked in the Grandview pro shop for the past 11 years. "They always come here and think they can whip the course, and they don't. This course is challenging – every bit of it." Though it may be known for allowing casual attire, Grandview's length of 6,109 yards from the white tees is only 34 yards shorter than Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club, one of the county's most well-known courses. Despite that length, Beckt said the course is easily walkable. That just adds to the value of Grandview. "We're pretty close to (Lake Padden Golf Course) and (Dakota Creek Golf and Country Club) in terms of our prices," Beckt said in a phone interview. "A lot of people associated lower value with lower greens fees. They think this will be a less challenging course. But that's not the case.
