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.

Pace of Play
Took almost 3 hours to play the first 9 holes due to a jam of a senior 4-some and senior 2-some that were not picking up their balls after 8 strokes and not playing up to speed (waiting on the group ahead to be completely off the hole when they had ZERO chance of hitting into them). Deflated momentum and frustrated the 3 groups behind them as we all had plenty of time to talk to one another. Had to pair up with the 2-some behind me to pick up some speed for those stacking up between holes. . It would be nice to see a Marshal assist in advising slower groups to let faster groups play through or mentioning some golf etiquette reminders. Other than that, great day for golf at White Horse once again.
Enjoyable round
Beautiful course which is in excellent conditions even after the recent drought. Only complaint is the sand traps are pretty rocky and shallow. Overall a great round at a good value. Definitely will be back!
Bring lots of balls unless you hit it pretty straight.
The course is lined with trees and thick underbrush. Don't bother to look for your ball if you hit it out there. Lots of unlevel lies. Better hit the green and hope your ball stops. Greens are in great shape, but bunkers all around the green and they are like the top of a table. If the ball goes off you'll be chipping from down below. Bunkers sand was very shallow and hard. Looked like sand from Puget Sound beaches. And lastly, the inability to find a ball in the woods led to slow play. People ahead spending too much time trying to find a ball in thick underbrush.
Sprinkles in June
Always in great condition it’s a pleasure to play. One draw back living on the other side of the water having to take the ferry there and back makes it an all day event.
Hidden Gem
I grew up belonging to a country club and I've played courses all across the US in tournaments, this course ranked right up there with the best.
Great layout, tough pin placements, and tight greens that rolled true. The course was in excellent condition and the club house, staff, and food were all excellent as well.
Great Conditions, Little Mundane
super well kept; superb conditions! But the holes seem to blend together, especially on the back...
This course is very challenging
This course is very challenging. Always one more club then normal.
Course worth the drive
Course is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. The only complaint was I wasn't told several of the holes you couldn't drive on the fairways and the cart signs were directing carts back to the path 150 yards out. If I would have known I probably would have walked, since I had to walk so much anyway. Greens were running true and a medium speed. Good thing the course wasn't crowded, otherwise would have been a long day..
