The Lummi Nation announces the acquisition of the crown jewel of the Washington golfing community, Loomis Trail Golf Course. The Lummi Nation is excited to acquire this land and will take the formerly private course and open it to the entire golfing public as a public course.
“This is much more than a golf course. Loomis Trail land holding is within our St’l’elnep our ancient ground or village,” said Chariman Julius. “Loomis Trail, Dakota Creek, California Creek and the surrounding areas were very important to our ancestors, and therefore they are very important to the history of our people. Acquiring 180 acres of our St’l’elenp is something that we can all be proud of, on behalf of our past, present and future Lummi people.”

With Silver Reef having access to Loomis Trail, our team will look to host local and regional tournament and fund raising events.
