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.

Manicured fairways Photo submitted by Spencer3502694 on 06/17/2013
good shape except for greens
fairways and tees in great shape. Greens ok, putt true, but there are differences on speed from green to green
Great course to play
I play here at least eight times a year and I'm never disappointed . The course is in great shape , greens are running true and fast.
Great environment to have a great day on the links.
Varity of holes
A great mix of holes, long and short par 4 & 3s with dog legs on a # of par 4s. Requires shot making not a bangers course.
Bring a lot of balls.
Facility is great!
I love the restaurant . It is open cage type and I feels like in tropical place.
Off course weather was helped.
Pro shop people are very friendly.
I recommend use the power cart.
And keep fareways other wise you will list balls easy!
Excellent Course
Everything was first class from the time I entered the parking lot until I left. White Horse was challenging, but excellent in every way. My only complaint is that it is not easy to find.
Challenging greens
Difficult to read greens and balls roll off easily.

White Horse getting better
Overall Course getting better. The most disappointing thing is the pace of play. Horrendous! On weekends. Good golf day ruined by pace of play. Too many playing wrong tees. Looking for their golf balls in junk. Tough course that should not be played by those who cannot keep it play. Otherwise...I 'd play more if course asst keep the pace of play to 4-4.5 hrs.
Great, challenging course, enjoy playing this course.
Have not tried the food here yet, but I will! Even a bad day of golf here is made better by the scenery.
A must play -
This is a fantstic course - a must play when you are up on the peninsula.
NICE COURSE!
Immaculate greens, friendly staff, driving range off of grass, not mats. Challenging course, fast greens. Loved it. One of my favorite courses in the Seattle area.
Absolutely fabulous
First rate all the way. You're going to need your A game. Beautiful scenery, nice facilities.
Perfect day, great experience
Like wine, White Horse has improved with age. I golfed on White Horse the first year and the course was extremely challenging and in terrible condition: brick hard greens and fairways, punitive layout. Now, though, the course is in excellent condition! Landing your drive on the fairway means you're in great position for par or birdie. Greens are great. The course is challenging and playable. I'll be back.
I prefer to ride on this course. There are some transitions from one hole to the next on the front 9 that are LONG - a quarter of a mile or more it seems.
Prepare to lose some golf balls...
Overall, the course was in really good shape. Well taken care of greens and fairways. Have several tee boxes to choose and play from. Pretty long course. Most of the fairways are surrounded by forest, so if you hit a ball in the trees, just forget about finding it. Couple narrow fairways as well. If walking, you're easily playing 5-6 hour round if course is busy.
One of the best courses in the state.
Whitehorse is one of my favorite courses, it's definitely worth the special trip. The new clubhouse is very nice and makes for a nice picture on the tee box at 18.
Wonderful upgrades
Hadn't played this course in years. Was impressed with the improvement in almost all aspects of the course, including the new club house.
Very Difficult
Numerous amateur first time golfers on the course. They should have been on the range learning how to golf. The pace of play was atrocious! We quit after 4 1/2 hrs on number 15 hole. NOT a golf course for beginning golfers. Will never go back again.!!
If you like challenging courses
White Horse golf course club in Kingston is a fun course to play if you like to play challenging golf courses. I drains well after rains and has a wonderful practice area. A good wedge game is a plus because pins can be hidden behind traps and plateaus on large greens. Hit good shots and have a lot of fun, hit bad one and pay the price.
Very good course
Good green scenery and place of fun game for golfer.
