Type Resort

Length 6861 yards
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.

Port Ludlow

Course is very saturated with water right now. If you get any air on the ball it’s hit and stick. It’s just that time of year. The restaurant was closed so no turn food or drink.

Worth the Ferry

Loved the track! Tee books were recently aerated and sanded with a bit tooooo much on a couple of holes. The fairways and greens were in pretty good shape.

Hidden Jewel of a golf course

The well maintained golf course was a joy to play in. If I am ever in the area again. I will make tee time on my Golf Now app. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The whole course was in great summer shape. The course is short even at the blue tees. It makes up for the length by dog leg fairways, and hidden creeks. You have to play this course a few times. To know how to maneuver around the course better.

Very nice course layout. Only one green was not in top shape. The fairways were excellent and the weather was perfect.

Beautiful Course

It's been years since we played Port Ludlow and it did not disappoint. Beautiful course and setting, well maintained, hardly any brown spots which after this summer is unusual. The gals in the pro shop were nice but did not really explain things well (asked if we wanted to hit balls but didn't let me know I had to buy a token). The people in the restaurant were very friendly. Good pace of play and just a lovely day. We will make the 1-1/2 hour trip again.

Great course to play

A must play, if you are in the area. Plenty of challenges with lots of elevation changes. Greens were a bit slow but plenty of slope.

Greens are beautiful

Greens are great, fairways pretty good under the recent heat. Slow play with no marshal, no snack truck and they stopped serving food at 3:00

Terrible Experience

We drove 2 hrs to this course based on the reviews and arrived about 8 mins earlier than our tee time on hole #1. The starter/Marshall made a group of four ( which appeared to be familiar faces) behind our tee time go ahead of us. After I expressed the concern she still insisted but found herself with bad excuses and embarrassment.

And then a whole round turned to be super slow as the group was super slow. They would spend 5 mins on tee boxes and 10-15 mins a on fairways and extra 5 mins on greens. Every single hole is a long waiting.

Great course

One of my favorite courses in WA. Played many times and it’s super fun and challenging. Was disappointed this time in the greens. Punched recently and are not fully grown out yet so they were SUPER slow and bumpy. Wish we had known this before booking, would have waited couple more weeks to play. Rest of the course is in great condition despite a few dead spots.

Beautiful, tough course

Greens are almost fully recovered from punching. Fairways are green, mowed and not too wet.
