Rating 74.8

Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton, Washington offers two championship courses, the Olympic and Cascade, both of which are known as two of the best public courses in the greater Seattle area. The Olympic Course is the more challenging of the two with more hills and water hazards. Dramatically sculpted from the thick Pacific Northwest forest, the driving corridors are surprisingly generous. Towering evergreens line the fairways and there are significant elevation changes throughout, making it a complete workout to walk the course. The layout's most challenging element is the undulating greens, which are often guarded by bunkers and mounding. The final four holes are the most memorable featuring a combination of water, trees, and stunning views. The final hole on the Olympic Course is a drivable par 4 that is the perfect finish to your round.

Fun Terrain

The course as a whole was in good shape. The fair ways were nice. The terrain of the course was really enjoyable. The greens were on the slow side. Could be from the aeration that was done a little over a week before I played. Over all will play this course several more times this year.

Walked

nice layout - fun track

I like the layout and interesting holes. Greens were very slow - it was very wet he day before, and likely not cut contributing to the slow greens. I am in very good physical shape and like to walk. The Olympic is very hilly and is definitely a full workout to walk. Enjoyed the course very much. Look forward to coming back in the summer.

great winter course in puget sound

this is my home course but I have to write a review about how great this course truly is in particular playing winter (rainy season) golf. This course has always been one of if not the best winter course in the Puget Sound area. But to my delight they have even progressed further in making the course nearly dry like in the rainy season. We have had 2-3 weeks of rainy weather but after only 1 to 2 days of non rainy weather ( not sunny but cloudy with showers) the course fairways and greens were playing great. I thanked the front desk person and found out they have a new puncher that allows for even better drainage of the course. I f you dont like slogging around in the mud and looking for plugged balls in the middle of the fairway go to Gold Mountain for a great winter golf experience.

The olympic course was in amazing shape. the greens had been punched recently and were a little sandy but rolled smooth and were soft enough to hold approach shots. overall a great day!

Good bang for the buck

Course was in great condition as usual. Greens have to be some of the nicest and truest rolling greens I have played on. Pace of play was horrible. We were in a four playing moderately paced. There was a group of four in front of us that we waited on the tee box and in the fairway for on every hole. Some waits were 5 minutes or longer. Not sure what was taking them so long. Otherwise no complaints. Not a fan of holes 17 and 18. Not very representative of the rest of the course.

Olympic Course is a must play

The Olympic course at Gold Mountain continues to be one of my favorite in Washington state. The layout is tough but there are nearly always good options if you use course management. The golf now price was great and I really enjoyed my round.

Tough but fair course!!!

Olympic is a must play course. Course was in excellent condition. Barely any dry spots in the fairways, greens were in great shape as well, fast but rolled true. Course is hilly, so prepare yourself if walking. Back 9 plays tougher than front with 16/17/18 are great closing holes. Staff was extremely friendly. Pace of play was great, only waited on last few holes. Definitely worth the drive from Seattle.
