Transcript of New Member Brochure
The Walla Walla Country Club golf course is a classic “old style” course…built in 1923 with small greens, tree
lined fairways and wall-to-wall lush green grass! The le" side of the green on the short par five tenth hole is
closely guarded by a lake while a meandering creek comes into play on eight holes. While there are only
three fairway bunkers, many golfers swear there are more than twenty-six bunkers framing the greens.
Driving the ball in the fairway and keeping it underneath the hole on the greens will normally reward the
golfer with a good score!
The PGA Professionals and staff of the Club are trained not only to help the novice golfer get started cor-
rectly, but can also direct and mold the low handicap player to lower scores all in a friendly and fun atmos-
phere. The pro shop carries the highest quality golf equipment and sportswear at very compe//ve pricing.
Whether it’s a new driver, pu1er, swing /p, or club repair, the pro shop staff is there to help.
The original first nine of the Walla Walla Country Club was built in 1923 with the second nine completed in
1945. The original Clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1996. In 1998 the new 22,000 sq. ". Clubhouse
opened its doors to the membership to rave reviews of how “user friendly” it is! The smoke-free Clubhouse
radiates a very comfortable and warm feeling without being preten/ous or stuffy.
Casual and fine dining featuring excellent food and many Walla Walla wines can be found six days and
nights every week in the two main dining rooms and during the summer months the large outdoor pa/o is
the place of choice for many diners. Banquet facili/es are available to members and their guests for small
private par/es to large wedding recep/ons. Whether large or small, formal or informal, the Club can ac-
commodate your needs.
Both men’s and women’s locker rooms are furnished with richly grained wood lockers and twelve foot high
ceilings. The heated outdoor pool complete with wading pool is a favorite during the warm days of sum-
mer. Swimming lessons are always available throughout the summer months and don’t forget the four out-
door lighted tennis courts for those who enjoy a vigorous workout!
Socially, the membership is offered a wide variety of ac/vi/es such as Comedy Night, dinner dances, theme
par/es, wine tas/ngs, outdoor barbecues, bridge games, fashion shows, holiday brunches and many more
Club sponsored events. Varying levels of compe//ve golf are available for both men and women. Some of
the premier golf events are the Senior Invita/onal, Warren Bateman 2 Man Best Ball Invita/onal, Chapman
Invita/onal, Member-Guest Invita/onal, and the Couples’ Best Ball Invita/onal. Couples golf is played every

Who operates the Club?
The stockholders (Regular golfing members) of the Walla Walla Country Club elect a nine member Board of Directors. The Board
formulates rules and regula/ons for the conduct of the Club’s ac/vi/es and management of its proper/es. Each member serves a
three-year term, and one-third of the Board is replaced yearly. The Board hires a General Manager to operate the Club on a daily
basis. The General Manager and staff work with member commi1ees to implement policy made by the Board of Directors. Capital
and Opera/ng budgets are prepared by the Board and presented to the stockholders at the Annual Mee/ng held on the first Mon-
day of February of each year.
