Whidbey Golf Club Supports Island Senior Resources: Play with Purpose


At Whidbey Golf Club, we believe great golf is even better when it gives back. We’re proud to host the 2026 Benefit Dinner on May 31 and Golf Tournament on June 1 in support of Island Senior Resources, and we invite you to be part of it. Attend the tournament, the dinner, or both, and help make a meaningful difference right here in our island community.


This special partnership supports vital Island Senior Resources programs like Meals on Wheels, medical transportation, and Aging & Disability Resources, services that help older adults live independently and with dignity. The Benefit Dinner offers an inspiring evening of connection, while the Golf Tournament brings players together for a fun and purposeful day on our course.


Join us in making every swing, and every seat at the table, count for something bigger.
