Rating 74.0

The Resort at Port Ludlow sits along the shores of the Puget Sound with views that stretch across the Port Ludlow Bay. Located just 90 minutes from Seattle, the resort offers a luxurious waterfront inn, a marina, an award-winning restaurant, and a championship 18-hole golf course. Robert Muir Graves designed the course. He crafted a layout that challenging but rewarding, all while preserving the beautiful natural surroundings. The golf course is just one of 10 in the state of Washington that is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. During your round, you'll enjoy abundant wildlife and panoramic views of the Hood Canal and Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges. The golf course isn’t long but it's tight and will require both accuracy and strategy. Many holes are dramatically sloped and there are hazards facing you at almost every turn.

Excellent Round of Golf

I played Port Ludlow for the first time on 7/6/14 and really enjoyed the round. I had never played the course before and like many reviews have stated it's a terrible beauty. The surroundings are impeccable, with great views and the Timber course in particular is carved into the natural surroundings. Really a beautiful design you don't see much in the Seattle area where houses tend to line the fairways. The course was in fine shape, though the greens were a little bumpy...maybe they need to change the pin positions more often? The course really tested me and was intimidating in a few spots as a first timer. It seemed like every whole was some sort of dog-leg, and I don't recall many straight, wide-open bomber wholes. My score was pretty high, and I lost a few balls.

The really unbelievable part was that I teed off around 7:30 as a single, and never saw another player until the end of the round with another single in a cart caught up to me. I walked the course, and apart from the hill up to the clubhouse, didn't find it challenging to walk. I couldn't believe I had the hole place to myself on a perfect Sunday in July. I was able to play extra practice shots and really take my time. I will definitely play Port Ludlow again when I'm in the area.

Sunny Ludlow

Perfect day for golf. Very scenic course. #4 is the #1 handicap hole as a par 5. Not long, but play it as a 3 shot approach because of creek in front of elevated green. Par is like a birdie on this hole. Had to pay attention to the 8-10 knot breeze that is influenced by the trees. Incredible location.

Since when do we let more than a foursome in 2 carts.

Played in a threesome and paid for 18 holes. There was a lot of debris on the greens that made putting difficult. On the 7th, 8th and 9th holes there was a 5 some of young people in 2 carts scrambling all over the course, very slow. They apparently quit on the 9th as we moved to the second 9 they were nowhere in sight. Teed off on the 10th and the rain started. We backtracked to the clubhouse for a bite to eat and decided to give it up for the day.

Beautiful Course

Was a good round with plenty of challenges. Greens seemed extra firm and slow for the round, finally got the hang of it on 17/18. Looking forward to coming back.

pt ludlow

Very nice layout and in pretty good condition. A high handicapper should bring plenty of balls for if you hit it off the fairway the rough is tall and lush. My only complaint is all facilities were closed when I finished at 5:10 and I could have used a beer.

One Suggestion

We wish that there would be information on whether the price quoted includes a cart or not before you book the tee time. And how much. I find $16 per person for a cart a little extreme….but maybe I am out of touch with reality.

Port Ludlow is still great

I always loved playing Port Ludlow, even though I respect and give Gold Mountain the #1 spot for Kitsap County. It is very well kept up, Tide and Timber are both great courses, and you get the best of both worlds because Tide is a scenic course but has some houses on numerous holes. Timber is what the name says it is, back in the forest where you can see bear poo and animals such as Foxes, Racoons, Bob Cats, etc.. It is still a very wonderful golf course and it deserves credit!

Memorable Course

Port Ludlow is a delightful if not challenging course. We found the greens to be in excellent shape. The pace of play on Father's Day morning was under 4 hours. I like the fact that each hole is distinctive. I did notice that some of the cart paths need resurfacing.
I hope to play there again very soon.

I like this course

I really enjoy playing at Port Ludlow, course is in nice shape great layout. Difficult holes unless you play the right angles then it is a little easier to score.

Only downside is the ferry traffic getting back to the mainland.

We were very excited spotting a bear while we were on the driving range, that made the day even better.

Port Ludlow never dissapoints

A great course in very good condition. It is worth the price just for the beautiful views. Love this place. Play in the afternoon you'll have the place to yourself. Do your best not to hit the deer that roam around at their leisure
