Hit the Green for Hole-in-One Fun at Snohomish County Golf Courses

Did you know the intricate sport of golf is one of the oldest sports still played today? Its earliest roots date back to the 15^th Century in Scotland, with the first 18-hole round being created sometime later at the Old Course at St Andrew’s in 1764. From there, the traction of the game continued with golf’s first major, and now the world’s oldest golf tournament, The Open Championship, being held for the first time in 1860.
