Slope 140
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.

Overpriced

Greens were in excellent condition.
Fairways were spotty with brown hard spots.
Several ball washers lacked towels.
No beverage carts.
Played in the afternoon and maintenance personnel were still mowing the fairways.

Pace of Play POOR

Apparently the staff expects the average round to take 5 hours, because there was no enforcement of pace of play at all. We ended the round at 9 holes to end our suffering at almost 3 hours.

Excellent deal

Course is in great shape. For a little more than a dollar a hole, no delays and no pressure from behind, does not get much better than this.

Not one of my favorites

Staff was very friendly! Maintance was poor. Grass clippings & yard waste everywhere. Signs were limited & not easy to read. All hole flags were blue regardless of position. Course was still fun to play.

Very Satisfied

Me and the little lady decided to play a round of golf this Mother's Day. I had stayed at the resort 26 years ago when the course was still under construction and never returned to see the finished product until now. The course is very scenic and the played pretty fair from the blue tees. The service was excellent and the price was very reasonable. Other than being happy that we finally had the chance to play the course having a power cart was the best choice. Though gorgeous, the elevation changes would have worn me out. All in all we will be back there as some as possible to play it again.

port Ludlow review

Well it's probably been 10 years since I played this course. It's as a remember a little wet in spots for spring, greens were recently punched and sanded but overall steal of a deal for the price.

Overall

This used to be the destination course on the Olympic peninsula. It could have been that it was April and things were just getting going after winter but the overall feel of the course felt like it was tired and in need of some TLC. No markers to tell us what hole we were on left us a little confused in the beginning. 19th hole was closed. I look to better times for this old girl.

Dissapointed this time

First of all, Golf Now usually has a caution about events such as greens have been sanded etc, no caution this time ⌚ and the greens were obviously just sanded. Second there were no information signs about the hole. Otherwise the course was reasonably dry considering the time of year. Oh and the snack restaurant was closed, this was at 2pm on Sunday.

staff friendliness rates high

This course is in need of mowing and the greens were recently plugged and sanded, but that's what needs to happen this time of year. The rough was almost unplayable so you needed to keep it in the fairway, but the staff was very appreciative of our business and it bode well for them moving into spring and summer golf season.

Nice layout, great views

Challenging at times, fun to play it
The staff was very accommodating and responsive
Some uphill and downhill holes make it challenging, you better know your draws and fades, you can use both
Enjoy it!!
