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.

A treasure

I could play this course over and over and not be bored. Will play again in the next seven days before I head home to California. If it was in Orange County,

Ca, it would be my home course.

The greens were very challenging, fast and “interesting”. I was intimidated until after 5 holes when I got my confidence back.

Everything you need

I've played this course 3 times in the last couple weeks and it keeps convincing me it's worth taking the ferry over from Edmond's. It is only a 10-15 min drive from the Kingston ferry or they have a free shuttle (temporarily not operating due to Covid). The course layout is difficult from any 5 sets of tee's they offer. Each tee will provide different hills and bunkers in the fairways that will come into play. I recently played Salish Cliffs and saw similarities between the course layouts with rolling fairways, fescue and tree lined OB making it challenging to find your ball. The greens also provide a challenge if missed with bunkers typically playing below the hole and tough angles around the putting surface. The greens roll true and have great speed but it will vary depending on the weather conditions. The course can be wet with the rain forest climate but the course drains well. Pace of play has not been much of a problem here but you will run into an occasionally slow group trying to find there lost balls in the woods or struggling with difficult shots. The staff and amenities are top notch for a resort and I would recommend anyone try this course to get a true Pacific Northwest experience. There is great value to be had if you find the right deal online and they offer a rise & shine deal before 9:30 am on the weekdays. This course should be on your list if you are in the Kitsap Peninsula and I would also recommend Port Ludlow, Golf Mountain or Trophy Lake if you want to make a full day trip or do the replay for only $25.

Buckle Up

White Horse is a favorite. Very beautiful layout and good service. It’s a little out of the way but worth the drive. However, don’t go if you’re not a good golfer or don’t mind having a course whup you into submission (which can happen even to the best golfers). Simply put, this course is tough. Enjoy the challenge!

1st day back from quarantine COID-19 lockdown

The course was in stellar shape with fairways like memory foam feel, the greens didn’t have a blemish on any hole and the number 3 tee placement was challenging to all levels.

Staff excellent

It was a cold,windy day but the course was in really nice shape. The staff let us start as soon as we got there which it wasn't very busy on the course.I have been there 2 times before & it's been great every visit.The only thing I don't care for is the hour & 45 minutes drive one way to get there, other than that everything was great but my golfing that day.I will be back soon.

Sandy greens but still pretty fast.....

Used every club in my bag playing from the Blues today.

Fiarways are in great shape for this time of year and give the greens about a week or so to start rolling true.

Looking forward to playing here again when our club comes to visit in mid March.

Nice NW winter golf

Played after heavy rains and a few dry days in a row, course dried out enough to play well. Challenging no matter the conditions.

Can’t wait till drier seasons. Getting back into golf after 20 year break (family and kids do that). This course did not exist when I played way back when.

One of the jewels west of Seattle.

Novice take

I’m not an experienced golfer (only been golfing for about two years. Played in California, Florida and Washington), however i noticed that this course is not ideal if you like to walk the course. There was minimal paths cut out for walking. Otherwise beautiful course.
