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.

Nice course with awesome price

Very well maintained course, but reasonable green fee deal in Golfnow. Mostly the course was in great shape, but there were wet fairways on some holes. Pace of play was really good no wait on the tee boxes. Staffs were very friendly as well! Highly recommended

The White Horse

Loved to play at the White Horse GC despite 2 hours away from home. But this time somehow the putting green was very slow, long, bumpy and uneven. We were all very disappointed. Previous day we played at the Classic GC at Spanaway, it had much better conditions than White Horse, and cheaper!

Challenging but fun

Be prepared to be challenged. We played the front nine. If you're a decent golfer you'll be fine. We are not decent golfers so we had our work cut out for us. 10/10 will play here again.

Good Course But Punched Greens

The Course conditions were good. We were told that only 5 greens were punched but I would say all of the greens but five were punched. They did discount the green fees. The rest of the course was in good shape. I enjoyed the layout as fair and challenging for a intermediate golfer. I would recommend and hopefully the greens have recovered.

Best in Kitsap

I have played this golf course many times and it never gets old with how good of conditions it is and how challenging it is. The conditions were absolutely immaculate and the greens were rolling so good.

No Refund or Exchange!

I did not play. I accidentally hit the purchase button the night before when I was looking at it. Golfnow would not refund me the $144 I was charged. So I had to eat it.. I was on the wrong day. Golfnow would not even allow me to change the date to a day I could actually golf.
Frustrated & Broke!
