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.

Tought but fun

Beautiful layout. Lots of challenge. Sand was reasonable, actually kinda fun...Not much water comes into play but lots of scrub to hit over. Pace of play important and be ready to pick up if you are found holding up the game. It took me a ferry ride and decided to stay overnight at The Point Hotel and Casino, making it a wonderful weekend and so worth the extra travel time.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course condition was dry and not muddy at all, making an early spring round very enjoyable.

I'll be back!

January Sunday round

Staff was good to work with. The ferry from Edmonds to Kingston was cancelled without notice, so the assistant pro worked us in after the next boat arrived.

Course is in good shape for January. Front nine was open, backed up a bit on 10th tee but then the group in front pulled ahead after 11.

There isn't a lot of supervision (starter or marshal or bev cart) in the winter months but the fellow golfers tend to self-police and keep things moving.

Greens were in good shape.

Awesomeness

This course was tough but playable for ahh range of golfers. The best condition I've seen all winter of any course I've played. Even with some temp greens you get the full affect of the terrain. I'll definitely play again and recommend this place to others.

Exceptional Golf Course

The course was in excellent shape. Best greens I've played all year. I'm not sure what they are doing, but this the course conditions were amazing. I'm looking forward to coming back. They had shotgun (Turkey Shoot) tournament, but you have no idea that it was going on. I suspect that they started the tournament in groups of 2 - 4 foursome on the back nine, which had exceptional play for those with regular tee times.

Great course management.

The perfect day.

Playing golf in the Pacific Northwest at the end of October can be dicey but we had the perfect day at White Horse Golf Club. The course was in incredible condition. Fairways were lush and every ball in the fairway sat up perfectly. They were 10's. The weather was sunny and equally as incredible. The White Horse course is a challenge that can be conquered with accurate shots and good putting. The layout is great with many different styles of holes that makes the course interesting and fun to play. Pick the right tees and play well to score well. But most of all enjoy the beauty, serenity, and nature of a great course.

Wonderful golf course in a peaceful setting

Thoroughly enjoyed my round. Fairways and greens were immaculate. My only complaint was the pace of play. Just over two hours for the front but three hours for the back.

Nice course

This is a very nice course. Very well maintained.

The terrain was rather undulating in the fairways as well as the greens. Lots of bunkers on some holes.

Greens were smooth and fast but not crazy fast.

Nice course - Tough for high handicappers

As a rusty 20+ handicap player, perhaps this wasn't the best course to choose, but I sure had fun anyway. I drove up early on a Sunday morning without a reservation. No problems getting on and I was the first one off. Due to the nature of this wooded links layout, I didn't see a soul the rest of the day except going from the 9th green to 10th tee. The greens were firm, true, and fast - might as well be putting on a pool table. They did hold a well shot iron, at least the one or two I hit all day. Long puts usually meant big benders in route to the hole. Rolling hills and elevation changes made hitting shots an adventure. If you stayed in the fairways, you were treated with hitting off a luscious carpet of short cut green grass. Me? I spent considerable time hacking out of the tall grass or moderately shaggy rough area. Most tees had long grassy areas right in front, so make sure you get the tee shot elevated. Water doesn't come in too play very often but some strategically placed marsh areas provided plenty of problems. All in all a high quality course and I recommend it highly. Please take bug spray just in case.

Very Slow Play

We booked and payed plenty to play. Play was extremely slow. We were paired up with a couple of guys that couldn't play and I think got slightly loaded. So we didn't play fast. When I told the guy at the desk that it took 5 hours and 20 minutes. He said ya it had been slow all day. Didn't offer anything for our inconvenience. I wont be going back anytime soon
