At check in I felt like the pro shop would rather I not be there. I've encountered that a few times at courses after booking through golfnow. Charged extra for a big bucket for the range, then got to the range and noticed if you wanted balls you just went to a bucket and dug out what you wanted. Golf course had some awesome views, but we waited on every shot after the first hole, for long periods of time. Never saw a Marshall, ever. Over 5 hours to play, just wasn't enjoyable.

Hadn't played Port Ludlow in 20 years, wasn't that enamored last time. The trees got bigger, the fairways got tighter, and I enjoyed the course a lot. A lot of doglegs that require hitting the ball the right distance, long off the tee isn't necessarily your friend on most holes. Accuracy off the tee will make the course fairly easy, but miss a fairway and you'll be lucky to make double bogey. Large greens with a fair amount of undulation. I was surprised how dry the course was considering the rainfall we've had, I was expecting some mushy areas and some plugged balls, I got bounce and roll instead. I'll go back a lot sooner.
