So much potential

The layout is interesting and fun but the course maintenance is lacking. It's clear they're not charging enough to maintain the course at the level it could or should be. I'd be willing to pay more to play if it were better maintained.

The restaurant in the clubhouse is an exercise in poor management. No hot foot or sandwiches ready at the turn. I suppose if we'd known we could have called in an order but that's not mentioned nor were we told about wait times when we ordered. It was at least 15 min per group to get our orders, which is brutal at the turn. Another huge missed opportunity to make this a much better golf experience.

Historic treasure going down the toilet

RIP OFF CENTRAL!!!!!

I've played here for over 20 years. It's a 3.5 hour drive from my house but always make time to get up there at least twice a year. Last played in in early September of last year and it was an exceptionally manicure, challenging and scenic track.

Played in on May 22, 2025. The greens are slow. The cups haven't been cut in over a week (literally so grown over that putts that hit slightly off center of the cup hopped over the hole). Tee boxes look like Germany in WWII. Fairways have enough clover growing there that you feel like you're in an alpine field hiking. Rough was well over 4 inches.... which I don't mind if I'm playing in a U.S. Open but don;t appreciate when I'm playing a track that is already narrow.

I'm a 4.2 handicap and shot 83. This score was mostly due to lost balls (lots of wet spots), relatively poor green conditions and the fact that nature has encroached into the course to such a degree that several holes felt unrecognizable from my previous 40+ trips here.

One green had standing water over 6 inches deep on one side and burnt out grass on the other. Shameful.

I will NEVER return here. Too many quality courses on the Kitsap Penninsula to waste $100 on trash like this. The owners are obviously pulling money out and are not interested in a quality golfing experience.

Hidden Gem

Pt. Ludlow is an amazing golf course—beautiful setting, plenty of challenge, but still fun for average golfers. The best part is that it’s rarely crowded. I’ve played many times without the pressure of a group behind me or having to wait at the next tee box. Additionally, there’s plenty of space between holes so you’re not getting wayward balls in your fairway on a busy day. The conditions right now are still a bit wet, but still had a great time. The restaurant recently changed hands & is open longer, more convenient hours. The fish & chips are excellent.

Not as good as last year

The course is always in great shape…… BUT , when we played on Monday, there was no marshal to keep things moving. We had 2.45 back nine. Too slow. Additionally, we saw numerous golfers with tee shirts and jeans. Not a good sign for the course.

Great topography

It's nice to have someone who's played the course before to help point you in the right direction. There are doglegs where you are not quite sure how far it is to the corner. There is also a lot of vertical changes as well where you might not be sure on where to aim or how far it plays. With a little help from your friends its a wonderful experience. Well worth playing!

Beautiful coarse

Love the coarse. Very challenging layout with several dog legs both left and right. Greens are amazing and wicked at the same time. Look forward to playing again soon.
