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.

Whitehorse

I always enjoy myself playing out at Whitehorse .The course lay out. Makes it feel more like a journey through the woods than a track of holes back and fourth as no holes are really bordered next to each other and look completely different . Very challenging as well and can play very different from one set of tees to the next .had great company as I met some good people and managed to do something I have never done before which is hit every fairway . greens were not as pure as they normally are due to them being unusualy soft , overall the course was in great shape .

Awesome, Challenging Course

White Horse GC was a perfect golf experience, everything about the course was high quality considering the heavy rainfall over the last few weeks. The green are very firm and roll fast. The fairways were firm with very little standing water. A very challenging course, keep it in the fairway to have a decent score...bring lots of balls if you battle a hook/slice. This course is fantastic and a great value considering you have to take a ferry from Seattle to reach it.

First Time Playing

No Broken Windows

This was a budget friendly course that has open space with almost no homes to hit. It is a really well layed out course that has lots of challenges and you need to play it well because fairways can be tight. The bunkers are placed for looks meaning usually out of play but presents another challenge. They are raked and maintained well so you can hit from the sand if you do find one. The greens are in great shape and fairways are nice to play from. There are two things that I think could be improved on and that is employees to be more engaging with players and maybe upgraded carts with gps or better marking for distance on course. I say this because I didn’t know were hole 1 was and when playing distance was sometimes a challenge. Thankfully our group had a garmin watch. All this to say is I am grateful that I could play a course so amazing especially for the price.

Great Day playing at White Horse

There was a frost delay in the morning so we got out about 45 min later. Overall course was in good shape. Greens were very well taken care of. Enjoyed our round. I did note there was no beverage cart on the course. Made for a rather thirsty round.

The last round of 2020?

The course was in good shape, though somewhat soft - as to be expected this time of year. The greens were surprizingly fast and challenging as always.

Overcast weather great golf

Golf course is in great shape. It would be nice if golf carts had navigation. It is really hard to figure out distances. Pace of play was good and cart girl was friendly.

A treasure

I could play this course over and over and not be bored. Will play again in the next seven days before I head home to California. If it was in Orange County,
Ca, it would be my home course.

The greens were very challenging, fast and “interesting”. I was intimidated until after 5 holes when I got my confidence back.
