APNational Golf Club Mission Statement

Our Purpose

APNational Golf Club exists to honor the game’s rich history while cultivating a welcoming community where golfers of all ages and abilities can compete fairly, grow together, and celebrate the values that make golf meaningful. Founded in 2013 by Durel Billy, we are committed to authentic golf played with integrity, fellowship, and respect for the traditions that have shaped our sport.

What We Stand For

Fair Competition & Integrity
We uphold USGA rules and certification standards as the foundation of honest play. Every golfer, whether competing for gross or net, earns their score and their place in our community. We believe that true
competition builds character.

Inclusivity & Community
Golf is for everyone. We welcome men and women, juniors through seniors, and golfers of every skill level. Our club spans Washington State, bringing together friends and family across courses and regions. We celebrate the diversity of experience golf offers.

Heritage & Tradition
We honor golf’s past while embracing its future. Through hickory golf events and historical celebrations, we connect players to the game’s roots. Through our junior series and emerging player programs, we invest in its tomorrow.

Growth Through Fellowship
We believe golf is ultimately about the people you play with. On the course and beyond, we build lasting friendships, mentorships, and memories. We grow the game by growing our community.

Purpose Beyond Competition
Golf can be a force for good. Through our fundraising efforts and participation in community celebrations, including the Washington State Juneteenth Celebration of Golf, we use our passion for the game to give back.

Our Commitment
To create an atmosphere where fair competition, genuine fellowship, and respect for the game’s traditions flourish together. To welcome all golfers. To preserve golf’s past while championing its future. To compete with honor and play with joy.

This is APNational Golf Club:

Growing the game. Building community. Playing forward.

Our Journey: The Vision Behind AP National G.C.
