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 nice day to tune up the game

Monday and there are cars in the parking lot, but I didn't see many golfers. Hadn't played in a while so wanted to get some swings in. Had the course to myself and was impressed by how dry it was. No mud. The greens were nice. I figured out the speed, but not enough putts dropped. Left them right next to the hole. Some wind, but not bad. Very enjoyable and no temp greens. Great winter course.

White Horse GC

It may take a little extra effort to get to White Horse but it's a course that will reward those golfers that are willing to make the journey. Wonderfully carved through the trees of the Kitsap Peninsula, golfers will find rolling fairways, elevation changes, strategically placed bunkers, large undulating greens, generous flat tee boxes, thick rough & a few water hazards to round things out. An above average course that will have you planning your next trip.

Too cold for golf

Although the course was open for play, the greens were frozen. They set up temporary 'greens' but they were a joke!! The staff was more than friendly. But they should have offered free coffee instead of charging $2.50 and discounted the $10 for a bucket of balls.

Good course and in good shape.

The greens were still pretty sandy from the recent airation but overall it was in great shape for early fall. We enjoyed the round even though we were showered on for 4 holes or so, the sun did cone out for us to finish our final 4 holes so...

Great course. Fun day

This is a very fun course with more than enough challenges for a 16 hcp

Friendly staff and a decent pace of play until they sent off a few groups on the back nine as we made the turn. A 4 hour round became almost 5 1/2.

Worth the ferry ride!

Fun course in the middle of nowhere

The clubhouse is beautiful. The driving range easily accessible. The course has a lot of quirky holes with lots of elevation change and the golf boards were a hoot. Greens were hard and slow which is a hard combination to get used to. I was not real happy with the loud music being played outside of the clubhouse for a tourney that started later in the day and even though we were a two-some we had a couple of rude golfers behind us, another two-some, that we finally let play through even though we had to wait for the group ahead of us at every hole. They ended up skipping a hole and passing the group ahead which made the back 9 more relaxing because we never had a golfer behind us after that.

Everyone needs to play Whitehorse at least once

Great outing with my guests from Seattle. They want to come back to challenge the course again.

Only issue I have is the HIGH COST of a cart when you are already paying a premium in green fees.

The good things about white horse

There driving range is a little pricy but it does have grass instead of those Matts so that's worth the 10dollars per large basket. There golf course is really Beautiful and it was worth the money and the golf carts is Electric not them loud glass carts.the staff are really kind and there isn't really any bad things about the course oh and FYI their greens are super fast. My experience going to the course was really and I'm most likely to come back.

Great course, even in the rain

Lots of woods to lose a ball in so a straight drive is rewarded even if not very long.

Very nice public clubhouse restaurant with a good pro shop. Head pro, Bruce Christie is a super instructor. Practice range allows hitting off of real grass turf! Convenient to the Edmunds-Kingston ferry and the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry.

Check pace of play before you pay

Pace of play was horrible, so check pace of play before you pay.

Most players have to catch the ferry or drive a long way to get to this course. Green fees are on the high side compared to comparable courses within 30-40 minutes drive.

From start to finish was 6hrs 20mins and everyone was in carts. They let a small morning golf tournament hold up the whole course. Don't know if they were squeezed into the morning tee times, but anyone playing after 11am was looking at least a 6 and a half hour round. The course was aware of this and the pro shop nor the starter did not mention the slowdown. We did not see a course marshal till the 14th hole.

The course itself is nice. Restaurant had good food, probably cause we were starving after a long round.

If this course was a little closer to home I would play it at least once a week. Great challenging layout. The golf boards are a must! Very friendly staff.
