White Horse Golf Club has one of the toughest courses in the Northwest. Situated on the Kitsap Peninsula, the course is located just five minutes south of the Kingston ferry terminal. The course sits on the Puget Sound between the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, offering panoramic views on every hole. When the Suquamish Tribe bought the club in 2010, one of their top priorities was to make the course more playable. They enlisted John Harbottle for the job, a local architect who has designed several layouts throughout the state. By taking out nearly half of the bunkers, he opened up the greens and made them more approachable. He also widened the fairways and made the landing areas more generous. Since the update, White Horse Golf Club has become one of the most popular on the peninsula.

Excellent course and worth the trip

The course was in great condition. The approach shots were designed to be challenging, surrounded by deep sand traps and with changes in elevation. The greens were in excellent shape, as well.

Very Slow Round...

We had a drunk 4 some two ahead of us with a single between and the 4 some trying to stop and teach the single how to play golf. Pace of play was over 25 minutes behind. Did not see a marshal ever even though the carts were yelling at everyone to speed up play. The course is gorgeous and difficult.

Course and staff unfriendly

Course is in very good condition. Not sure I will travel the hour and half distance to play here again. The 18th hole is beautiful. I would describe the course as a links course lined with evergreens, very challenging.

Great Conditions, bad Encounter

The Course was really nice, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful as well. Pace was very slow, which was fine, but the group behind us kept hitting into us intentionally and was unapologetic about it. Would also essentially taunt us as well, expressing that we were slowing up play due to poor skills. We kept good pace with the group in front of us, constantly waiting for our next shot, so was very odd all around and very frustrating. Part of our group left due to the harassment from the group behind us and did not finish the round.

So much fun, but you need advice

Absolutely phenomenal example of PNW golfing. Condition was spectacular. Nice carts.

It is a tough course, but definitely has some relieving holes that aren't so bad. Layout doesn't necessarily favor one shot shape, lots of strategy needed for laying up depending on what tees you play.

We played from the whites for the sake of our playing partners, but if you drive the ball over 260, the whites are pretty short.

Luckily, we got paired with someone who plays there a lot, if it wasn't for that it would have been really tough for a first time round, lots of blind tee shots and you're not sure where to miss on most holes.

If you love a challenge and a manicured course, this is for you.

No value

Inside the club house was slowwwwww. Drove an hr and a half and got there early for warm up. Range ball machine was out of range balls, so no warm up. Course in OK condition but for the drive and the conditions, not worth it what so ever….Way over price for what you get.

Nice Enough Course (Front Nine)

Beautiful facilities....however course is too mundane and with WAY to many undulations/sloping left to right throughout fairways with very little elevation changes and sightings.

For my preference, I like to see where my drives are landing (not driving up hill and over a slope)and to not have sooo many slopes in the fairway ruining what otherwise could have been a nice straight drive in the middle. Elevation changes are nice, an elevated tee box with a great view downhill would have been much more enjoyable & appreciated.

Tourney ready

If you’re looking for a challenge to your golf game then Whitehorse will give you everything you can handle. Don’t let the shorter yardage from the forward tee positions fool you. There is trouble a plenty. Greens and fairways are in beautiful condition.
