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.

Only the 2nd green was unavailable

Bunkers are in amazing shape just like most of the course. I would definitely golf their again. 18th hole is the the signature and worth the wait.

Pairing up people ?

First thing was a frost delay for about 1 hour which I’m not blaming the staff at all.The man at the desk was very nice and said he was going to pair us up with 2 other people and my golfing buddy and myself said oh boy? The 2 guys we were paired up were 2 of the nicest guys and it was a beautiful day.I had one of the best days golfing with 2 strangers and my golfing buddy in a long time! Thank you Whitehorse and Golfnow for making it happen.Thanks Ken and Allen.

Check if carts are allowed on path & suggestion for a better lunch option

I really liked this course. But the experience of not being allowed to take the cart off the path negated any good feelings I had for the course.

I found myself walking a lot. Carrying a lot of clubs as I never knew the distance or lie before walking out to the ball. A few times I wished I had another club. And on hole 10 I got into trouble and seemed to walk more than three holes combined.

Next time I will ask the status before renting a cart because it really left a bad taste in my mouth.

One more suggestion. I stopped by the restaurant to look at the food options. Nothing caught my eye. As I waited in the ferry line I had wished they had offered a “ferry box”, a to go food and drink. I’m hoping this suggestion gets noticed as I believe the people heading back to Edmonds / Seattle would really appreciate the item.

Disappointed that the course didn't tell us they had recently punched and sanded the greens not that it was cart path only. Won't have played there if i knew about either situation.

First Time Playing

5+ hour round... apparently this is normal.

$200 for a 5+ hour round of golf. We waited for 10 minutes before every single shot. The pro shop told me after hole 9 took nearly 30 minutes that this was a normal pace of play. Every group was slow, not just the group ahead of us. That simply illustrated the fact that the course was over booked. It's not possible for a normal player to have fun when they're standing around for 10 minutes before every single shot. Not only does this make for bad shots but it's not conducive to a quality experience. I could excuse this if we booked a 1pm tee time... but we teed off at 8am. We walked off the course at 1pm. I've played golf a lot... this was hands down the slowest course I've every played.
