Welcome to Rainier Golf & Country Club When Rainier Golf & Country Club Opened it's first 9 hole "golfing grounds" on September 15, 1920, it was considered one of the finest "out-in-the-country golf links" in the Seattle Area. Originally the course consisted of what is now our back nine and there was no clubhouse. Bob Collins, the designer, builder, and first Golf Professional at Rainier, was quoted in the August 29, 1920 Post Intelligencer as having lined up 198 prepaid members and a long list of golfers awaiting his "golf instructional work". Rainier, the second oldest private golf club in Seattle, has matured and evolved into one of the most imaginative and demanding tests of golf in the Northwest. The course is a shotmaker's delight; it rewards power, finesse, and most importantly, accuracy. Visit the Rainier History Page for the full Club story....
