White Horse Golf Club

We played in 5 hours and 20 minutes, Told the staff and they said it was slow all day. Followed a tournament. Offered nothing to make me want to come back. On the 18th par 4 there were actually 4 foursomes on the hole alone.

Was not told that junior rates don't start until after noon and that when paying for a cart you pay for one seat which means you have to pay for two seats if you are playing with someone else which one is usually doing. So the price jumped after I booked. Never good when decisions are already made and unexpected costs occur. Frustrating.

Love this course!! It's so challenging and fun! And it's super quiet as the course is in the middle of nowhere! Perfect course to get away from the world and enjoy a round with the boys. Recommend highly :)

The entire course is cut out of dense forest. When you walk down a fairway, you can hear your voice echo off the trees like you are in a closed room of Fir. The primary complaint from intermediate golfers is the consequence of slight misses. If you fly off the side of the green or have a bit too much spin off your driver, you'll lose that ball.

Had a great time, only con was the long grass just off the fairways in some spots.

I used to love this golf course...greens were fast and accepting, before 2012-13, now, not so much. Fairways are always perfect, greens are now hard, and slow. With as much undulation as these greens have, I'd think they might soften them up a bit. Bunkers could be better too. Management might want to consider price changes considering subpar conditions.

I played Sunday, June 25, 2017 with a 7:12am tee time. I was told my two-some was the second group but I never saw anyone ahead of us.

Probably finished around 10:30. This was my first round at White Horse and will likely be my last. Here's why:

The round was completely ruined by one of the greenskeepers. Starting on the 11th fairway and continuing through the 16th green, 6 of our 18 holes were completely interrupted. As we hit approach shots from the 11th fairway a greenskeeper turned on sprinklers for the 11th green. We then had to wait for the sprinklers to shut off to complete the hole. We initially assumed he didn't see us but he continued even after he new we were there. This pattern continued in each fairway until the par 5-14th. The same employee was standing on the green spraying it down with a hose. We whistled to get his attention as we stood in the fairway wanting to hit our approach shots. He stopped watering after about 30 more seconds, and I hit my approach toward the front pin leaving it about 5 paces short of the green in the fairway. As we drove to the green the guy cuts a new pin in the back left corner of the green and fills the prior front pin placement. As he was doing this we complained to him, and said this should have been done earlier in the morning and his reply was "it is early". This was around 9:30am when sunrise was at 5:18am. I woke up at 4:30am and drove almost 2 hours to play this course.

The watering fiasco continued until the 16th green when we finally got ahead of him. As we walked off the 16th green he was spraying with a hose a few steps behind us. It honestly felt like we were being chased off of the green.

My playing partner and I each have over 20 years of golf experience at courses all over the country ranging from cheap municipal courses to some of the more famous public courses. I have no idea how many rounds I have played in my life, and until today I had never even seen a hole cut for a new pin. The idea that someone would do it after a group has hit approach shots is beyond absurd.

I complained in the pro shop after the round. They seemed a bit embarrassed but basically just said sorry.

I won't make this drive again.

Picked tee time late Sunday afternoon to offset ferry traffic back to Seattle. Worked out great, getting one of the first twilight times was awesome. No back ups, and the cousre seemed to ourselves. Excellent conditions in every category. Very challenging but rewarding also if good shots are executed. Highly recommend.

No marshall's on course. Five twosome on one hole. Disappointed in course conditions. It used to be a solid 8 out of 10 but is now only a 4.

It was a real treat getting to play White Horse, I'd been wanting to make the journey there for quite a while and finally decided to do so on my birthday weekend. After reading several reviews about the course I was extremely excited to get out there and see the layout. I wasn't disappointed.

Sprawling bunkers make every shot count and required us to really target ball placement on the greens because they are the firmest I've ever played, which was surprising since we've had one of the rainiest winters I can remember and it was lightly to heavily raining for nearly my entire round. Give credit to the incredible irrigation system, every other course might have been rained out due to several downpours that happened while I was there, but the large fairway drainage system continued to work away and keep the course easily playable. While the course had some really fun par 3's, I think it's the short par 4's that I liked the best. On the front 9 there are times you're hole is so heavily wooded and secluded that you'll feel alone out there.

Course conditions: the course was mowed and 90% of the balls that hit the fairway bounced while the other 10% only partially plugged, viewing the ball from the cart path wasn't an issue. This was particularly impressive given the amount of rain that day and the winter we just had. The greens are extremely firm, but I believe that is by design and in no way a knock against the course, it actually added an extra layer of challenges to the day.

My only complaint was on the approach to each hole, the board would have the yardage for each of the 4 tee boxes but wouldn't give you the shape of the hole, so we ended up having to find it on google. For most holes this wouldn't have been a problem, but there are several holes I can remember where you can't see the dog leg or the direction of the green from the tee box.

Overall: this course challenged me more than I thought it would have and really forced me to make uncomfortable shots and take chances. I didn't play particularly well, but had a blast doing so.

This course was a nice surprise. I drove a ways to get there(73 miles) and was not disappointed. Challenging track in nice condition. Nice facilities as well.

For as rainy and wet that it's been in western Washington over the last 5 months, this course played like late spring. The layout was fantastic with challenging fairways that made you choose between a drive and a layup, or long iron and a long iron. Pace of play was just under four hours, and no pressure on either side of us. I will be returning to this course very soon.

Great course to play. Well maintained. Makes you think because driver isn't always the way to go.
