About Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort
Located a short ferry ride from Seattle on the Kitsap Peninsula, the Clearwater Casino Resort, owned by the Suquamish Tribe, is more than just a waterfront casino.

Always a joy!
Count on this course ANY time of the year! Dry! No waiting! Happy days!
bunkers
watch out for the bunkers,rocky beach sand and not much of it.
Worth the Drive
White Horse is a ways out there for many of us on the Peninsula, but it was worth the hour-long drive to play this course. Really friendly staff from the time we checked in until the 19th hole.
It was extremely foggy when we started playing but once that burned off, it opened up to a really pretty course.
The course was really well-maintained, but they are seeding the fairways so sometimes that was almost like being in a shallow sand trap. That, and the golfers behind us playing into us twice were the only drawbacks of the day. I would definitely play this course again!
Bring your straight swing
Course is tough, Very fun though. Best to play to the yardage and not swing driver all day unless you are a 6 or less. Beautiful course!
Unique
Every hole was unique, never running alongside another. Nicely shaped and pleasing to the eye. Really enjoyed this set up - whole course was in terrific shape. Rode a board and that added another element of fun.
Great Course on Not the Greatest Day
White Horse is a great course with very nice staff and facilities. Got a great deal on GolfNow and paired up with some very nice people on the course for an overall enjoyable day. You should go and play there--its worth a cross sound ferry ride or a long drive (for me). The bad stuff--aerated and sanded greens with no warning on GolfNow. They are already tricky and that made them pretty much impossible. VERY SLOW play--seven foursomes of a bachelor party and a foursome of very poor golfers after that. Round was almost five hours. Weather was cool and drizzly--actually OK, except play was slow, so my old muscles didn't want to participate. Course was wet. Grass and sand on the ball for all shots. All that said, you should play the course, just pick a dry day.
Hands downd one of Washington's best public courses
Not much to say except this is an excellent course that is well taken care off. The fairways are in good shape and the greens are firm and challenging. Shot placement and approach angles are at a premium here. Putting is fast and true. Their standard rates are a steal for a course this nice. The only down side is having to take the ferry to get there but whenever I head out I just play 36. Personally I enjoy this course more than Salish Cliffs and it is much nicer on the wallet.
View is spectacular
One of my favorite courses in Western Washington, we teed off at 0757 on a Saturday morning and outside of a brief wait on hole 12 we didn't stop for a moment. Gorgeous course with enough challenges for everyone and every hole has a different challenge. Course itself was in tip top condition and the greens (as always) were perfect. Consistent speed from green to green, you were rewarded for well hit shots and punished for not so well hit shots
Don't Miss
This course had great balance between hard and easier holes and was really fun to play. It is so nice to play golf away from civilization. The course overall was in excellent shape and was a joy to play. I recommend playing this course if you are in the area
Nice day in the woods
We had the whole course to ourselves. In that sense, it was a wonderful round. Every hole is a separate entity - another nice aspect. However, some of the walking required from cart to green was difficult for those of us over 60. Many holes look more daunting than they actually are; if you select the smart club off the tee, there is usually plenty of landing area.
Nobody there to get clubs out of the car or load them on the cart -- thought that was pretty unusual for such a nice place.
Great Course
What a great course!! I would recommend this course to anyone.
The mosquitos were thick earlier in the morning, but thinned out with our second round (for only $25 and that included a cart).
Green, green, green. Just the way a course should be.
A Beautiful Challenge
This is a beautifully designed course that requires one to think through every shot. Greens are difficult but fair; it has become my favorite greater Seattle course because a good score is well earned. Fairways are rather generous; however, hitting the greens requires great accuracy. The course has been kept in perfect condition since the day it opened, and thanks to an outstanding staff and new ownership the clubhouse and all other facilities are now equal to the course itself. If you are in Western Washington and want to play golf, don't miss the opportunity to play White Horse.
Worth the drive
This is a very hard course to play, but very fun. If you're walking it is definitely a walk/hike with some golf. Awesome fairways and greens, both soft for the hot and dry summer. Awesome staff! The driving range could be a little better maintained but it doesn't change my mind about this course. I will gladly make the drive to play here.
Sand could be alot better
I really enjoyed the course. The selection of tee boxes is great. Fairways and greens are good, but the sand in the traps was like hitting off a wet beach, no bounce or give. Not a good quality type sand for the build up the course makes. Kind of like playing at Spanaway with less rocks.
Great Course and great value
This was my first time playing White Horse and I really enjoyed the course. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape (which is impressive considering the extremely hot and dry summer we have had) and it is challenging. I found the course reasonably tight but fair. Wild shots are going to get lost in the woods but the fairways are reasonably generous. The greens are relatively large but play smaller because of the elevation and sloping. Only really good approach shots will be rewarded. Driving range, carts and clubhouse and drink cart service were all great. Service is a little slow in the clubhouse. Pace of play was a little slow, but typical for a challenging course. All-in-all a great day of golf and a good value. I will definitely plan on returning.
Note to Seattle golfers. You can park in Edmonds and walk-on to the Kingston ferry for $8 (round trip). This is really convenient and cheaper than driving on. However, if you do plan on using the free shuttle to the course this must be arranged in advance with the course. This was not obvious to me when I made the tee time on the web site. To me, "shuttle" implies something that runs continuously or on-demand. I had one of my friends run down and get me and it was no big deal as the course is quite close to the terminal (10 minutes) but it would have been nice to know.
Wonderful!
We had a wonderful time. The course is in great condition. Tee boxes and greens were perfect. And beautiful green fairways.Cart service was excellent around all the time.
Challenging But Very Fair
This was the second round I played at White Horse, and partly due to the course, I shot my best score of the year. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The narrow fairways, small landing areas and postage stamp greens forced me to "play smarter"; I used a club other than driver on at least 60% of the holes. I stayed in the fairways and hit 12 out of 18 Greens in Regulation as a result.
Pace of play was decent. Our foursome let a twosome play through as they were politely pressing us. The on-course amenities included an adequate number of water coolers, only one set of porta-potties that I noticed, and frequent visits from the beverage/food cart. Carts are well-maintained and drive well. One of the best features of this course is the excellent direction signs posted at key intersections.
The restaurant serves really good food and a nice selection of beer on tap. It's a nice way to relax after the round, sitting out on the deck overlooking the 18th hole and watching how many golfers dunk a shot into the water hazard!
Great Play
This is a great course that traverses through thick woods. The conditions were great, greens true with undulations, layout challenging and service was very good.
great North Kitsap course
Very good course in top condition, despite local drought the past few months. Greens well watered, tees in good good shape.
Ran into bottle neck on No 8 with two groups already in front (green and at second shot). Would appreciate more rangers to keep it going.
Some of it was us, as the OB shots are swallowed up in the native woods. 4-1/2 hour round.
Suggest a cart, this course has a lot of distance between holes. And elevation changes.
horribly slow
A five hour round with carts. Waiting on every shot as people search for golf balls. Ranger did not arrive until back 9. ,
