White Horse Golf Club

Pace of play was agonizingly slow. 5 1/2 hour ...........with a 1220 tee time...

I was an assistant golf pro just after school and worked for top 100 public and private clubs. I have a tendancy to be a bit of a golf snob and huge critic of poor courses. This however is one of my top 5 public courses in the state. I live on Sno Ridge next to TPC and will drive out to Kingston anytime to play Whitehorse. What a golf course!!!!

The last time i played there, the club house was a trailer, now with a 50,000 plus club house marking where the next hole is , vastly improved, the greens were in awesome shape and tough to read.After a round of golf it is nice to sit and relax and enjoy a drink. a great job to the staff, and a very well done job. The parking lot was being prepared to be paved, i drove 15 miles one way to play, one of the guys i played with comes from across the pond from edmonds, wow. does it weekly.

Enjoy playing this course. More user friendly now than when first opened. Love the new clubhouse and grill. Food good, but will be awhile before the service is up to par because everything is so new.

Us and several other groups were made to wait one hour past our tee times because Whitehorse management allowed a group of approx. 28-32 people to tee off ahead of us. Our Golf Now tee times included carts, yet this group ahead of us took all the available carts. When a few other golfers started to complain, we were told that "the group ahead is not causing the delay, the lack of carts available is causing the delay."
The Whitehorse management caused the problem, did not offer anything for their screw-up (a free golf ball, a free drink, nothing).
A few of us asked for a free drink coupon, yet nobody would do the right thing, so we waited until 2:30 for a 1:30 tee time. Several people ended up walking, and were offered nothing back for going without a cart. With so many 'walkers' play was slow. Poor management.

I've played the course twice before these new owners took over, the course was brand new and there were alot of things that needed attention. Now the course has a new clubhouse and the course is in great condition. Most of the drainage problems have been fixed and the greens are getting softer. Overall I would give the course high marks. Fun course to play but bring your "A" game. They are still in the process of completing some of the parking, landscaping and lighting of different areas but it won't be long and you'll be impressed!!!!!

Wow, the clubhouse is looking nice, the course was in very good condition, especially for March! Always a good challange, which makes a good score mean something, and today was a good day!

The course was "cart path only". The conditions seemed to warrant fairway driving.

The course was in great shape for mid-March, the New club House was something to behold. The course is very challenging, yet holds the vast beauty of this area. Firm, non-raised, rolling greens offer great difficulty to the overall course. If you enjoy walking, it can be accomplished with minor effort, but I prefer using a cart, and slowly taking in the signs of nature readily available. I've only played here twice but had a great experience both times. This course has a tendency to raise one's average though.

Course is in major transition with a new club house to open in March 2013 and some course renovation noted during these winter months. Grounds crew were working throughout course to keep it in great condition. Current operators have worked extensively on the greens which were hard and fast for the first half-decade from 2007; now in beautiful shape and holding. Course is always challenging, very playable, and bottom-line FUN. Good shots rewarded; bad shots penalized so accuracy is at a premium. Play it well and you will want to do a "moon-walk"; 19th hole will be important if you play it badly.

Three of us. A better-than-scratch pro playing from the tips, a 7 hcp "serious' muni player from the blues and me, a guy who doesn't keep score and plays for laughs. We're pals with completely different games. I played from forward tees because it was Feb. 1 and 45 degrees. Can all three of us enjoy this course?

The pro loved it. Lots of challenging approach shots and intimidating looks from the tee box.

Mr. Muni got his rump kicked. The green complexes are very well protected, and if you overswing from the tee (because you're playing too long a course) you will fail to land your tee shot in a good place, and be happy to save bogey. But you won't feel happy. More like you never had a chance.

Ah, but what if you play forward so you don't have to hit driver off the tee, and you can hit irons into the greens (a MUST -- long club approaches don't cut it here). Now its a blast. If you're a decent iron player.

The terrain and course design are both lovely. If scary approach shots are your kind of lovely. It was winter when we played so no judgments about the greens . . . they were holding well though and broke the way they read. But you gotta look closely.

Nice driving range.

New ownership (a monster clubhouse was being built when we were there) is going to make this course a definite destination for Guys Who Can Play. The new owners are a Casino, though, and if they start sending recreational players out, well, expect some 5-6 hour rounds.

With constant rain in the PNW, this course was exceptionally dry and in great manicure condition.

This course requires learning...so fun! Our group lost many balls so come prepared.

I really enjoyed the well maintained and relativley dry playability.
Greens and fairways were in great condition. Will enjoy more rounds here in the future.

It rained all day, however for that price we played inm rain! Course drains well. Greens also shed water very well.

Played last Sunday in pouring rain and wind. Scottish conditions I guess. All in all, I didn't see where the course has been improved or changed that much. The greens were recently punched and rough as heck but it has to be done sometime. Still a great value.

The easier they make this course, the higher my score get. I must not think enough.

White Horse is a very challenging course. It should definitely be played from comfortable tees. Play from the back tees only if you are a very good low handicap golfer. Some fairways are narrow requiring straight drives. Plenty of bunkers and sloping greens make accuracy a must to score good. It has a beautiful setting winding through trees. Carts are suggested. Although there aren't an abundance of hills, there is plenty of distance between some greens and the next tee. Similar to Druid's Glen or Gold Mountain (Olympic).

the course will win & you wont know why. it offers every kind of hole shapes and the greens are hard to read. Club-up !!

We enjoyed this course, found it very challenging. Would definitely be returning to this course.
