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.

Great but tough

It’s a great course but definitely tough. Buddy holed out from the back side sand trap on 18 phenomenal ending to a hard outing for all three of us. We were happy to see him make such a pro level shot!

Beautiful day in the woods

Such a pleasure to play golf outside of Southern California on a beautiful course in Washington state. Challenging layout with rolling hills and lined with trees.

Liked it so much we played two days in a row and will definitely play again the next time we come back up from Southern California.

Enjoyed this course

Staff was friendly, and the weather was great. Course played just fine, and I didn't think it was too slow (maybe that means I am the slow one?).

If you are visinting Seattle, you can take the

<a href="https://edmondsferryschedule.org/">ferry</a> from Edmonds to Kingston, and White Horse is just a short drive from there.

Course is playing well

Played yesterday afternoon. Honestly it’s a good experience any time you play this course, although I’ve never played it soaking wet. That being said, we teed off Sunday afternoon and the course was pretty full. There was no cart girl and no clear place to fill up water. You do get to pass the clubhouse at the turn. Kind of weird there’s a bar and dispensary here but the dispo doesn’t ever seem to be open. The cart had no waters in it, and not even a couple tees in the tee spots. They do have great GPS units in them with Bluetooth audio. So it’s a really funny mix of high end and bare bones simultaneously. I feel like with more fit and finish this place would match what you expect when you first pull in. Again not bad, but just can be better with minimal efforts or willingness to pay someone to stay out until 7 driving the beverage cart etc.

Maybe I just got lucky….

I read all the reviews about slow play and maybe that is usually the case …. But I played 18 on a Tuesday morning at 9 AM in 3:20 with a cart

Beautiful golf course and great conditions. Pricey and an hour and a half from my house, which is a good thing because I think I’d play it all the time otherwiise

Pro shop staff was super friendly, didn’t use any other amenities.

One of Western Washington’s best

Going the wrong way

This is one of my favorite courses, in the world. The person who checked me in was very nice, but they have gone of 13 min. starts to 9 min. starts, so now you are waiting on every hole. It so frustrating and I was heading to a 6 hour round. I went to the club house on the turn and asked if they could give me a discount on my next round because I could not do a 6 hour round. I was actually playing very well, so I was bummed that I had to leave... The manager said no and basically that they know it's very slow, but that's how it goes... He did not give $0.02 about how bad it has gotten... I doubt I will play there again, this year. Maybe they will pull their head out and actually have customer service come back...
