About
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.

Great topography
It's nice to have someone who's played the course before to help point you in the right direction. There are doglegs where you are not quite sure how far it is to the corner. There is also a lot of vertical changes as well where you might not be sure on where to aim or how far it plays. With a little help from your friends its a wonderful experience. Well worth playing!
Home course
A really nice course that’s about four minutes from my house. Played there three times and enjoyed it every single time.
Beautiful coarse
Love the coarse. Very challenging layout with several dog legs both left and right. Greens are amazing and wicked at the same time. Look forward to playing again soon.
Top notch course
From tee boxes to fairways to greens, fantastic shape.
Great golf, need to upgrade food and beverage
I played Port Ludlow twice last week, course was in great shape. Very fair and interesting holes. Trying to get food at the turn was challenging both times. 10 minutes to get hot dog, while group is behind you …..not good. If they improve their service, I’ll give 5 stars
Nice location
I’d recommend this course to anybody and is great. I played all through Colorado Arizona and first time in Washington, but it was a good course. I will definitely tell friends.
Love the layout this place was excellent
I would recommend this place for everyone. I do plan on coming back. I’m from Colorado and I’ve enjoyed golfing there. I golfed in Colorado Arizona and this is one of the nicest courses I’ve come across. Thank you.
Great golf course!
I’ve played out at Port Ludlow many times and it’s the most challenging course around. You better bring lots of balls if you are a mid to high handicap. There were no concessions and nothing posted. (Looked like it is in the process of a remodel) There was a refrigerator in the pro shop with a few drinks available for purchase but no food.
The course was in great shape but we were confined to “cart path only”. We both felt it should have been 90 degree rule for sure. Overall a fantastic round of golf and very enjoyable. Just a lot of walking!! $44 for cart…
Friendly & Fun
I asked if there might be an earlier tee time upon Checkin…was told not really. As it turned out several players from an earlier tee time did not show and got to play with Terry, Dick & Nick…who were all great ball strikers and collegial. Never waited to hit a shot the whole round!
A magnificent lay out
I recently moved to the area and wanted to check out the local golf courses and this one did not disappoint! It was really windy that day but I managed to walk all 18 holes with only a few other golfers around and the course was in great shape and the greens were pretty firm and rolled very well given the amount of rain we had the day before. A couple of low spots in the fairway had some standing water but I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the scenery. One negative comment is the lack of yardage markers - I could not find a single one which was quite odd- not on the sprinkler heads nor in the fairway or cart path. I hope the course will get more attention because it really is a beautiful Pacific Northwest gem!!
Port Ludlow
Course is very saturated with water right now. If you get any air on the ball it’s hit and stick. It’s just that time of year. The restaurant was closed so no turn food or drink.
Beautiful day’
A beautiful day to play golf in December. The greens were tough to negotiate, but the course is in great condition A+ for this time of year.
Worth the Ferry
Loved the track! Tee books were recently aerated and sanded with a bit tooooo much on a couple of holes. The fairways and greens were in pretty good shape.
Its not just the time of year, we played last July 2023 and the course was flooded! I don't know whos managing the course maintenance but it was ridiculously wet with pooled water on the greens.
Muddy areas most holes.
