White Horse Golf Club
About
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.

I'd Heard This Was A Nice Course, But...
...It was amazing! Downright beautiful, firm and fast, with most of the holes protected by the forest.
The course was in excellent condition, with no marshy spots anywhere. Greens were similar to my home course, Chambers Bay; if you put too much pace on your chips, you'd find yourself playing from bunker to bunker.
Only downside was the glacial pace of play on the back nine. A couple of foursomes evidently took a leisurely lunch break, then merged on to the 10th in front of our twosome. My buddy and I completed the front nine in about 90 minutes, walking, but the back nine took over three and a half hours. The lone marshal didn't seem at all motivated to speed anyone up. Kind of sucked the enjoyment out of my first experience at White Horse, but I definitely plan to play there again...mid-week!
fairways
The course was dry a day after heavy rain. The fairways cut short, hold the ball up. Enjoyed summer roll before spring started. I'll be back soon.
Kingston's finest!
White horse has changed in the past few year's, from one of the NW more difficult courses to a more friendly local's course. I had a great time with a friend, shot very well on the front, not so much on the back, that's on me, worth the trip ! take a friend & a cart! Not a walking course , 3 thumb's up !
Great!!!
I loved the course!!! For it being January it was in great condition
very good course
The course was in very good condition for this time of year.
Great Winter Conditions
Me and a couple buddies played White Horse right before Christmas. We'd had a lot of wet weather but the course played great. Some areas were soggy but nothing that really effected play. One of the best courses I've played and an amazing value. Highly recommend.
November
Played the course the day after two days of rain. Course only had a couple of wet spots and it was "cart path only", but was better than you would expect after that much rain.
Beautiful and Challenging Course
The course was great. Layout was challenging but playable. The 18th hole is a terrific finishing hole. The greens were in very good condition. This course is worth the drive to play. However, the course does retain a lot of water after a rain. The club house is nice and the food in the onsite restaurant was very good. Good place to relax with friends after a round of golf.
Whatta course!
This course is not only a bargain, but is certainly one of the most beautiful courses around. Despite the upgrades within the last few years, it is still a very challenging course; particularly when the greens are wet. Go and enjoy this jewel.
Great layouts
The greens have been aerated that a week or so it was a little slow but overall the course was in great shape
Beautiful layout
Beautiful layout in a serene woodsy setting.
They had recently punched the greens (heavily so)
and putting was ridiculous, but would love to play
the course again, under non sanded conditions.
is a great course
sanded and aerated but still a very good round a little difficult for the high handicapper, still a really good experience. Could use GPS or better yardage markers
Course was OK
I booked 2 days in a row. I asked if I could move my 2nd t time but they hesitated as I had booked thru here. Finally he gave me a different time. It was just a little offensive because the 2nd day there was like no one there.
better all the time
Fairways growing in nicely. Tee blocks not so good. Greens descent but too undulating ! They are small and firm so no need to have them like that. Losing the average golfer I hear. Too bad because overall it is a great track and the new club house is top of the line. How about gp's on the carts ? It is needed or bring your own.
Love to play White Horse
White Horse is challenging but fun. Beautiful club house too.
Very tough
played white horse at least once a year since they opened. Every year the course gets better and better. As with most new courses, it takes time for the grass to grow in and to become established.this year I played in early September. The T blocks for the most part are not in very good shape. The fairways though are fabulous. The greens in my opinion are still too difficult for your average or even for your better golfers. They are firm and fast but in my opinion there are too many undulations. With the size of the Greens being as small as they are there's no need for the undulations to be so severe.
Fairways are great and the greens difficult to putt.
The event was better than I had imagined. Everything was as described in GOLF NOW website. My twosome was paired up with another twosome from Seattle and we compared the benefits of using GOLF NOW.
good overall
Course was in a very good condition. Pace was good. Most of the greens were still in good shape beside quite bit rain two days ago.
Great Labor Day at White Horse!
Enjoyed the challenge of White Horse and the course didn't disappoint.
Staff was on the players to keep pace and encouraged consolidation of twosomes at the turn. It kept everyone moving and kept the play to a reasonable 4.25 hrs.
Awesome clubhouse with great food and cold beer! Staff was friendly and helpful.
I'm returning to WH in October.
mosquito haven
The golf course was fairly soggy for the small amount of rain we have had in the area. The mosquitos were out in force, but the pro shop and the marshall both provided repellent, which saved the day. There is no roll and all approaches must carry to the green, so hackers like me must play the blue/white tees in order to be somewhat competitive. Beautiful course but very difficult for the average hacker.
