About
Opened in 1925, Discovery Bay Golf Club, formerly known as Chevy Chase Port Townsend Golf Course, has the distinction of being the oldest public golf course in Washington. Besides its long history, it has also garnered acclaim as one of the best golf courses on the Olympic Peninsula. Situated on the shores of Discovery Bay, the layout enjoys panoramic mountain views spanning the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. There is more to the course than scenery though. The classic design is challenging enough to appeal to low handicappers while still being accessible for beginners. The course's back nine is more challenging than the front, featuring challenging elevation changes and some tricky lies. Be sure to bring your camera for the breathtaking view on Discovery Bay Golf Club's 10th tee.

Good course, but not walkable.
The course is nice. The front nine is walkable. The back nine is difficult to walk. To get to the 10th hole, you must walk a long ways up hill. The hole is also up hill. Then more climbing to get to hole 11. To enjoy this course, get a cart. People who want to walk this course will put you to your limits.
Scenic course
Very friendly staff. Open fairways. Greens are somewhat bumpy. Scenic area, with some interesting holes with elevation changes.
Cool course
Bad conditions due to rain but made it kinda cool one sand bunker and the middle of one fairway was flooded so you play over and then walk around made it interesting definitely get a cart if you don't like walking a lot front nine pretty flat but back nine the hills are a little rough the layout is pretty cool too staff was awesome
Challenging but fun
Challenging course for its narrow fairways on the front 9, and lots of hills overall. A little muddy, so wear your waterproof shoes and bring an extra towel, and a fun attitude.
An old favorite
I’ve been playing at Discovery Bay for over 40 years (it used to be called Chevy Chase and was just 9 holes). I don’t play there frequently because I’ve never lived closer than an hour’s drive, I wouldn’t consider it an easy course, and every hole has its own unique challenges. When my son visits from Houston TX (where all the courses are flat), it’s his favorite place to play. There are a number of places where parts of the fairway look more like the first cut of rough on the courses you see on TV, but that’s just part of the challenge. Incidentally, yesterday was the first time in all these years that I played all 18 holes without losing a ball.
