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.

Absolutely beautiful course

This was my first time playing White Horse and I can say that I enjoyed every minute of my time there. The staff is wonderful and the food is phenomenal. I gave pace of play a 3 out of 5 because every hole I had to wait. It may have been the time of day I went, but again, the course is beautiful and I didn’t mind waiting. I got to enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful layout and a great course

Just completed a buddies trip which included The Home Course, Gold Mountain Olympic, Gold Mountain Cascade and White Horse. White Horse was our favorite! It sits on a beautiful piece of land and is very well maintained. There are 5 sets of tees. We chose the white tees and found the course very playable with plenty of challenge. Though there is a good distance between holes, we found this to be a great course for walking... 19,000 steps and 11 flights later.

One of the best courses in the state.

This course is in immaculate condition. The course is extremely challenging. Playing here is well worth the drive it takes to get here.

Beautiful course

A Marshall would be good. Got behind a 5some with 2 carts and 4 sets of clubs. One guy was walking and was constantly walking to a cart to grab a club. Or waited till someone was done using a club. Got so out of hand we skipped the 9th hole and didn't even want to play back 9 so we left. Might try and play it again, but insure at this time.

Beautiful, well maintained and challenging.

White Horse has in my opinion the best maintained course on the peninsula, and the nicest staff. It is a tough course to play, even after they softened the course a few years ago. The fairways roll in every direction, so you’re often hitting above or below your feet, even after a fairway drive. The fairways are also generously wide, but the rough is only a few feet wide before yielding to impenetrable brush. The combination makes for a challenging course, but in a very fun way. They have a shuttle from the Kingston ferry for free, so it’s accessible even from Edmonds/Mukilteo area. Best drainage of any course around in the winter, and is empty on most off season days, so great in the winter months. In the Summer, it’s busy with club and league play, but everywhere is, so no worse than normal, I average 4.5 hour rounds here at the peak of summer.

This course has a great layout.

I like the variety of hole configurations here. Makes you use all the clubs in your bag and all different kinds of shots.

The risk reward is great as well.

I will be back again to this course soon. One of my favorites to play.

Enjoyable tour thru the forest

First time playing in the Pacific NW. After a previous days rain, course conditions were boggy but still very playable—only one mud ball all day. Front nine is completely forested—a few homes on the back. Gentle rolling layout with no forced carries. Undulating greens with some difficult reads. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

Management was too terrible.

I have played this course many times but I have terrible experience today. I booked 8 players using Golfnow but unfortunately we had heavy rain and could not continue the game. We decided to quit after 9 holes because of heavy rain and low temperatures. I went to the club house and explained the situation for the rain check but club staffs and manager refused to give us rain checks because I paid to Golfnow.

They explained only their policy but didn't consider customers. We played further 9 holes with rain.

One of the driest winter courses

White Horse is one of the driest winter courses in the state, today, a week before Christmas you could still warm up on the grass range and it was not in the least way muddy considering how much rain we’ve had the last couple of days. The entire course was in great shape and the greens are in excellent shape. More than worth the ferry trip over.
