About
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.

Challenging test on a cold, windy day from the tips.
Greens were recently punched and sanded, so they were slow and bumpy. Otherwise, course was in great shape, bunkers were nice, etc.
Amazing fun course
Really fun course, they punched about a week ago, so the greens were bumpy, but the course is in amazing shape!
Friendly Staff
Lost club but someone turned in and staff was quick to call me so I could pick it up. Course was in good shape and very little people playing. Was nice to have the course and moving along in less than 4 hours
Beautiful day
Play the skins game with my friend Michael I took the front he took the back I got them on KP’s walked away $12 richer great course
We smokum peace pipe”
A great round on a beautiful chorus I won by one stroke but I lost a dollar A+ to the course A+ to the staff
A good challenge
Really enjoyed my first time playing White Horse. Chose the black tees because I enjoy punishment, but really only felt punished on the Par 3s. Course was dry minus some soggy spots that were mostly out of play area. Greens were faster than typical for spring NW golf, but there was also some damage. Overall I would recommend and look forward to playing again.
Great course
I’ve played this course a lot but not after a lot of rain and I was surprised how well the course held up. It was soggy in some spot but over all had a great time. I did notice that they have upgraded their carts with gps and when you get close to the green with the cart it will show you how the green breaks.
Awesome round of golf
Such a fun course it is challenging but also fair. If you haven’t played I would definitely recommend going there!
I did better than I thought.
The only drawback is the price of the ferry ride. Pro shop staff was very accommodating , friendly, and efficient. I’’m always satisfied when I play here.
Worst golf experience in years
An unethical course management that did not post sanding of greens. First hole was micro punched and was ok. The rest had the bigger punch holes with much sand.
To make things worse we had to play the same 9 twice. Not done. Then as groups finished their first 9 and went back to the same beginning tee the course did not take ten minute tee time intervals and make them ²0 min to accommodate the replay groups.
I would give a negative number if possible
Great facility
First class outfit all around from check in to finish. Look forward to playing again in 2023
