Rating 74.0

The Resort at Port Ludlow sits along the shores of the Puget Sound with views that stretch across the Port Ludlow Bay. Located just 90 minutes from Seattle, the resort offers a luxurious waterfront inn, a marina, an award-winning restaurant, and a championship 18-hole golf course. Robert Muir Graves designed the course. He crafted a layout that challenging but rewarding, all while preserving the beautiful natural surroundings. The golf course is just one of 10 in the state of Washington that is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. During your round, you'll enjoy abundant wildlife and panoramic views of the Hood Canal and Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges. The golf course isn’t long but it's tight and will require both accuracy and strategy. Many holes are dramatically sloped and there are hazards facing you at almost every turn.

Poor Conditions, slow pace

For 75 dollars to play. The course is in horrible shape. Thick clumps of cut grass everywhere. Cut clumps grass all over greens from people shoes. Feels like we were playing in the winter. But paying summer price. The pace of play was the worst I have seen. 5 different groups on one hole. Found out there was 20 people playing 4 person scramble in front of us. Should have been told before playing or had a Marshall out there to keep the pace of play moving. The gps in the golf cart kept telling us to speed up.
After the 6 hours to play . I spoke with a guy in the club house and he seemed to really not care.

Great layout, course needs attention

Showed up about an hour and 30 minutes early for my tee time to practice beforehand. Upon completing my practice, asked if the tee sheet was booked and if there was any way I could get out early about an hour before my time slot. I noticed it was quite slow at the time. Shop staff said it was booked, so I waited, and watched the tee box. In 45 minutes of waiting, only 2 groups left the first tee. I was a single, and there was more than ample time to let me go out, and could’ve paired up with the twosome or single that teed off before me. Once I teed off, I caught up to the single ahead of me. Shop staff was not impressive. It seemed to be an inconvenience for me to simply ask for range tokens.

Great course and conditions

This is a great course with beauty everywhere. Conditions were near perfect on fairways, greens and tee boxes. Many of the approaches are elevated and difficult if you come up a bit short. The greens were moderate speed but with lots of slope on many of them.

Overall a great course but very challenging if you are not accurate. I typically shoot in the mid 80's at most courses and I shot a 98 here with quadruple bogey on one hole!
