White Horse Golf Club
About
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.

Great winter course
Great conditions for late March and the pace of play was amazing.
March 27 2022
My son and I got to play alone on a Sunday which was excellent . The course was real soggy which probably can’t be helped. The greens are in great shape although too tough for an average joe to enjoy. A couple of bathrooms on such expansive property would attract the women players. Overall very enjoyable day.
Hidden Gem
Great layout, challenging. Drains well. I played after several days of rain and literally only needed relief in one spot on a fairway.
Beautiful Course, Good Service
White Horse is quickly becoming my go-to golf course. Beautiful conditions. Pleasant staff. Back 9 is more challenging than the front. I often go to White Horse when family from out of town wants to spend a day golfing.
Reservation:
A beautiful chorus with beautiful people I give this course at A+
Excellent condition
This course is very difficult, but in excellent condition. Greens were crazy fast and undulating.
Beautiful Hard Course
Just played today and loved it. One of the harder courses to play because of the tree and berry bush lined rough, but the beauty, quiet and pure challenge are worth it. I would definitely play again and just prepare to lose any bought 10 feet left or right of the rough.
Great Course
Great design and layout. Each hole separated so you never see any other golfers except those directly in front and behind you. Course condition good but not great but mainly an aesthetic issue. Well maintained bunkers. Clubhouse and bar/ restaurant very nice.
White Horse
A very challenging course for us as intermediate players…and we had a blast.
Aim at the center of the green
Played the course for the first time. Condition is great but the most memorable part is how small and challenging the greens are. The day I played my irons are slight off so the balls get banked into bunkers. The greens are small so the sand shots need to spin and stop for the sucker pins, making par-save tough.
On my second round, I aimed at the center of the green and my score dramatically improved. If you aren't hitting irons like lasers, I highly recommend this strategy for this course.
Overall condition is wonderful from tee-box, fairways to greens.
Comparing to Gold Mountain (Olympic), even with similar slopes/rating, White Horse to me is much more challenging due to its punishing greens and bunkers, and slightly narrower fairways.
Love this difficult track
Cool and moist today. Greens were quick even with the moisture. Played with a couple of bombers who left a lot of ammo in the woods. Staff was great, as was the course, even the sand.
Great course
Would definitely recommend it and would certainly play it again. Fairly tight and difficult but fair
Friday the 13th
White Horse Golf Club had never looked better. All aspects is in superior shape including bunkers tee boxes and greens despite the lack of rain. Staff was very professional and friendly. Best conditioned course I've played all year.
Pace of Play
Took almost 3 hours to play the first 9 holes due to a jam of a senior 4-some and senior 2-some that were not picking up their balls after 8 strokes and not playing up to speed (waiting on the group ahead to be completely off the hole when they had ZERO chance of hitting into them). Deflated momentum and frustrated the 3 groups behind them as we all had plenty of time to talk to one another. Had to pair up with the 2-some behind me to pick up some speed for those stacking up between holes. . It would be nice to see a Marshal assist in advising slower groups to let faster groups play through or mentioning some golf etiquette reminders. Other than that, great day for golf at White Horse once again.
