About this course
Discovery Bay Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 public course in Port Townsend, Washington, playing 6,641 yards from the Blue tees. It opened on May 9, 1925 as Chevy Chase Golf Course on farmland tied to the historic Chevy Chase Inn, and the club bills itself as the oldest public course in Washington. The front nine crosses the old farm pasture and is comparatively flat; the back nine has real elevation change, with views of Discovery Bay and the Olympic and Cascade ranges from the 10th tee. Silver forward tees measuring 3,799 yards were added in September 2017. The property has the only covered driving range on the Olympic Peninsula. Leashed dogs are welcome on the course, and the club cites a 2019 BringFido ranking as the top dog-friendly course in the country.

Port Ludlow Golf Resort
Port Ludlow, WA · 10 mi away
Port Ludlow Golf Resort sits on the Olympic Peninsula near the Hood Canal Bridge, with 27 holes designed by Robert Muir Graves. The Tide, Timber and Trail nines wind through dense Northwest forest with views of Ludlow Bay and the Cascades, and the resort is open to the public. It is one of the prettiest golf settings in western Washington.
Sunland Golf Club
Sequim, WA · 13 mi away
Sunland Golf Club is located in Sequim, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula, winding through firs, spruce and cedar with views toward the Olympic Mountains. The course was designed by Pacific Northwest architect A.V. Macan, and was in fact his final design before his death; the front nine follows his original routing. The layout plays to par 72 over 18 holes with asphalt cart paths and several tee options for different skill levels. Sunland operates as part of a private community but welcomes outside and public play through its golf shop, and it includes a cafe and welcome center. The course measures a bit over 6,000 yards from the back tees.
The Cedars at Dungeness
Sequim, WA · 17 mi away
The Cedars at Dungeness is an 18-hole public course in Sequim, on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, sited in one of the driest pockets of the state's typically wet west side. The course dates to the 1960s and has been updated over the decades, with a design credited to Jack Reimer and later renovation work by Mark Miller. The layout includes a widely photographed crab-shaped bunker and a mix of open and tree-lined holes across five sets of tees, allowing golfers of varying ability to select an appropriate yardage. The course has hosted the Washington Senior Open and is used regularly for club and league play. The Cedars operates as a public, year-round facility with a pro shop and food service on site. Its dry local climate, roughly a third of Seattle's annual rainfall, makes it a popular option for golf outside the typical Pacific Northwest rainy season.
