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.

Port Ludlow showing age?

I’ve played this course over the years and I quite enjoy the layout. But, the condition of the course leaves a little to be desired. The greens are mostly in great shape however they just need to be mowed, and the pin placements need to be moved more frequently.They were very slow, especially for this time of the year. The rough has improved as the many white flowers have been taken care of recently. The sand traps are good, the tea boxes are OK. The course just looks aged. It seems like it needs a little more tender, loving care.

A Pacific Northwest Gem getting better

I thoroughly enjoy playing this course. I hope they will consider placing yardage markers in the fairways to help those who don’t carry a range finder nor use a cart. It would be a great way to celebrate their 50 year anniversary!

So much potential

The layout is interesting and fun but the course maintenance is lacking. It's clear they're not charging enough to maintain the course at the level it could or should be. I'd be willing to pay more to play if it were better maintained.

The restaurant in the clubhouse is an exercise in poor management. No hot foot or sandwiches ready at the turn. I suppose if we'd known we could have called in an order but that's not mentioned nor were we told about wait times when we ordered. It was at least 15 min per group to get our orders, which is brutal at the turn. Another huge missed opportunity to make this a much better golf experience.

Historic treasure going down the toilet

RIP OFF CENTRAL!!!!!

I've played here for over 20 years. It's a 3.5 hour drive from my house but always make time to get up there at least twice a year. Last played in in early September of last year and it was an exceptionally manicure, challenging and scenic track.

Played in on May 22, 2025. The greens are slow. The cups haven't been cut in over a week (literally so grown over that putts that hit slightly off center of the cup hopped over the hole). Tee boxes look like Germany in WWII. Fairways have enough clover growing there that you feel like you're in an alpine field hiking. Rough was well over 4 inches.... which I don't mind if I'm playing in a U.S. Open but don;t appreciate when I'm playing a track that is already narrow.

I'm a 4.2 handicap and shot 83. This score was mostly due to lost balls (lots of wet spots), relatively poor green conditions and the fact that nature has encroached into the course to such a degree that several holes felt unrecognizable from my previous 40+ trips here.

One green had standing water over 6 inches deep on one side and burnt out grass on the other. Shameful.

I will NEVER return here. Too many quality courses on the Kitsap Penninsula to waste $100 on trash like this. The owners are obviously pulling money out and are not interested in a quality golfing experience.

Hidden Gem

Pt. Ludlow is an amazing golf course—beautiful setting, plenty of challenge, but still fun for average golfers. The best part is that it’s rarely crowded. I’ve played many times without the pressure of a group behind me or having to wait at the next tee box. Additionally, there’s plenty of space between holes so you’re not getting wayward balls in your fairway on a busy day. The conditions right now are still a bit wet, but still had a great time. The restaurant recently changed hands & is open longer, more convenient hours. The fish & chips are excellent.

Not as good as last year

The course is always in great shape…… BUT , when we played on Monday, there was no marshal to keep things moving. We had 2.45 back nine. Too slow. Additionally, we saw numerous golfers with tee shirts and jeans. Not a good sign for the course.
