History of Camaloch The Camaloch Association development began in 1967. Originally promoted as an easy commute from the Seattle/Everett area for a weekend getaway, the 466 lots with the amenities of water service, two swimming pools and a 9-acre lake for fishing sold quickly. In the late 60’s, the membership decided to build a 9-hole golf course with some undeveloped acreage it had. This original 9-holes was built with mostly volunteer help from its membership. Volunteers worked long hours clearing brush, trees and picking up rocks. Opening in 1972, the 9-hole course was well received by golfers in the area, known as a decent 9-hole layout by most who had played it. In the late 1980’s, the membership acquired the additional acreage needed to add a second 9-holes, which (designed by Bill Overdorf) opened in 1991. Since then, the membership has worked continuously to improve their course. Redesigning and rebuilding many of the original greens so they blend and conform the design of the newer more modern nine. You can still observe volunteers regularly at work on the course installing more drainage, doing carpentry, painting and pretty much whatever else is needed. This close knit community not only lives together, but also plays and works together too. Whether considering a place to golf for the day, or to live full time, it should be noted that Camaloch is located well within the Puget Sound “Sun Belt” on Camano Island, and receives about 1/2 the annual rainfall of the greater Puget Sound area. And remember, we’re less than 15 minutes from I-5 and you don’t need to take a ferry to get here.
