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.

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

Perfect golf day

Saturday is why we put up with NW winters - cuz the summers are so AWESOME! Our twosome paired up with another twosome. Pace of play was perfect....we were not chasing anyone nor were we being chased. Greens were in perfect condition and the traps and fairways in great shape. The rough could have benefited from a trim - but otherwise we had a great time on a perfect day.

20 Years too long

Hadn't played Port Ludlow in 20 years, wasn't that enamored last time. The trees got bigger, the fairways got tighter, and I enjoyed the course a lot. A lot of doglegs that require hitting the ball the right distance, long off the tee isn't necessarily your friend on most holes. Accuracy off the tee will make the course fairly easy, but miss a fairway and you'll be lucky to make double bogey. Large greens with a fair amount of undulation. I was surprised how dry the course was considering the rainfall we've had, I was expecting some mushy areas and some plugged balls, I got bounce and roll instead. I'll go back a lot sooner.

Beautiful setting

We really enjoyed this course, it was so beautiful and a challenging course but not too difficult for someone who isn't a long hitter either. Nice wide open fairways.

One of the most beautiful courses in the state.

Port Ludlow is one of the most beautiful courses I've played in Washington. Absolutely amazing. First few times I played I spent more time taking pictures than stressing about bad golf shots. Highly recommend this course.

Nice but could have been better

First time at this course. Played on a Tuesday. We ended up having a great time stopping for a great hot dog and a beer at the turn. The only bad comment was all of the ground work that was going on interrupting us at several holes and they closed the pro shop earlier tan we expected as we were loading clubs in the car at 5pm. We had planned to buy a shirt and/or hat. We plan to go back again someday

Great course, worth the drive!

A very scenic course. Not a long course but very challenging one. I always walk and that's a challenge too! Can be a bit damp in the winter. Loved it.

PNW all the way

There are no holes bordering other holes. Most of the course is in wooded areas with homes on just a few.

Love this course! Greens had been aerated and were lumpy. Wet weather had prevented mowing of the rough. I would play this course again, anytime and any condition for the $16 rate I got!

Great course

Rough is really thick and sometimes hard to find balls. Also greens were recently sanded and bunkers were hard pan. Lastly, it may be early in the season but the hole signage was missing. Overall great course, good value!

A great course in bad shape currently

I have played this course many times and have always enjoyed it; but, this time was very disappointing. The greens were in terrible shape with many dead spots and quite bumpy and difficult to put. The fairways were exceedingly wet and the grass was nearly the rough.

Perhaps it will dry out somewhat and regain it's usual beauty and play as the spring progresses.
