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.

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.

Hidden Gem

We were surprised to see so few golfers on a Saturday but really enjoyed the round. Very challenging layout but if you pick the right tees it is doable. Barely saw anyone in front or behind us and finished in just over four hours. Greens were fabulous and the course was quite dry despite recent rain. Definitely putting this course in our rotation even though it involves a ferry ride for most of us.
