There are a variety of reasons that the Links at Moses Pointe in Moses Lake, Wash. has become a Northwest golfing hot spot since opening in 1999: How about the 300-plus days of sunshine or the expansive 400 acres that the golf resort property covers – 120 acres of which is manicured from tee to green.

Or maybe it’s the challenging 18-hole layout that provides some scenic views of Moses Lake and is a course that has hosted a variety of Pacific Northwest championships.

Whatever the reasons, and there are many, the course has become a favorite for local and traveling golfers.

For almost 20 years, the Links at Moses Pointe has been a go-to stop for many golfers from around the Pacific Northwest. They enjoy the weather, the challenging layout, the views, the course conditioning – and Director of Golf Bill Porter is there to make sure that people leave after their round saying “I love this course,” a moniker the course has used for years – and for good reason.

The Links at Moses Pointe is a place that has hosted several PNGA and WSGA championships and if the tees are tucked (7,412 yards from the tips), the place is certainly a challenge. There are five sets of tees to accommodate every level of player. As much as there is to like within the confines of the course, the Links at Moses Pointe offers more off the course.

Mulligans restaurant is a must-do before or after a round – and also offers live music and a perfect setting for outside tournaments. PGA professional Randy Puetz offers instruction and club repair and the practice area is a great place to work on your game. There are also plenty of Stay and Play partners lined up with the course. As fall approaches in the Pacific Northwest, Moses Pointe is in the best shape of the year – and the weather is always cooperative.
