About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7424 yards
Slope 135
Rating 74.8

The Home Course in DuPont is considered one of the best public golf courses in Washington. Throughout the walkable layout, golfers will enjoy scenic views of the Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Mount Rainier. It's a long course at 7,424 yards from the back tees. The challenging greens play fast and true, and they are complemented by wide fairways with generous landing areas. There are several challenging holes where you'll face strategically placed bunkers and subtle, but tricky elevation changes. The golf course begins with a few open, parkland holes and then it gets more challenging. The seventh hole is one of the toughest, starting from an elevated tee to a green that is neatly tucked behind a lake. The final holes provide stunning mountain views for a memorable finish.

A Super Home for Washington Golf

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will take every advantage of my opportunities to return. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Holes with water were fun and not overwhelming to me. The greens were an adventure for me as some seemed slower, some quicker this day. With my high handicap, I didn’t hold some of the fairways, but despite the high fescue grass, I found all of my balls and actually came home with tow more than I started. Food service is limited to the basics and had to drive back into town to get a “latte. (We had time to kill). Looking forward to when the facilities are completed and the golf shop and food have a better home.
I loved the staff here as they were able to give me good guidance re: Washington golf. Several questions were asked and the four individuals on duty worked to get satisfactory answers. Being the home of Washington golf ……….. they are representing very well. With a picturesque layout, you will have a great outting here.

Fun well manicured links course.

This was a fun course to play. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. What was unexpected was that the greens got slower as the day wore on?! Food service can be a LOT better. The mobile home golf shop and food service booth doesn't give this place justice.

The bunkers were very picturesque. Playing out of some of them can be a challenge. Water comes into play in a couple of holes. So overall, there were nice features to this course.

I always enjoy the Home Course when I am able to make it down. It's in great shape right now. Make sure you practice your putting on the practice green!

Home is where the heart is

I would highly recommend this course. The course is awesome - it is well maintained and if you play well, it is highly rewarding. If you are here for the golf then you will love this place especially at the golfnow discounted rates. Warning - the golf pro shop/offices are in temporary buildings, the toilets are sometimes closed at the turn, the food is meh and sometimes you can be paired with the slowest golfers ever so it can take 6 hours. However the course is lovely!!

Excellent Condition

The Home Course is in fantastic shape. Tough undulating greens guarded by some deep links style bunkers. The layout is very wide open and bad tee shots are still very playable. All in all a very nice course that I wouldn't hesitate to return to.

Slowest round in five years

I arrived as a single and was paired up with three others. The parking lot was only half full at 1:30 pm on a Wednesday. I was very much looking forward to playing this course and seeing what the hype was all about. Heck, I drove 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here.

Unfortunately, it took 2 hours and 40 minutes to play 9 holes due to the slow play in front of us. We were walking. The foursome in front of us were riding. There wasn't a staff member in site to help with speed of play. At the turn, I asked the staff if something could be done. All I received was a huff and an eye roll and they walked away without even responding. It was then that I decided it was time to call it quits after 9 holes.

Course was in good condition but they couldn't pay me to go back. Rude staff. Extremely slow play. No thanks. There are too many other good options in the Seattle area to waste time at this "could have been" course.

Too slow for mid-week

A great course if only we did not have to wait at least 10 minutes at every tee box. The sad thing was not a marshall in sight. I would love to play it again at a more normal pace.

Challenging par 3's. Fun course.

Really couldn't realistically rate the food and beverage because they were closed when we finished.
Fun course to play. Large greens, but put true.
The par 3's are very challenging and probably highlight the golf course.

Great course with good views of sound. The carts are old and tired and the pace is slow. Course is in good shape and will be a lot easier the next time I play it (blind holes).

Great Golf Course!

The Home Course is really a great course. The layout is open, so there is plenty of forgiveness on most holes, but it still has it's challenges. It can get soggy in spots during winter. With the GolfNow deals it's really a great value for a US Amateur-hosting course.
