Moses Pointe, designed by Dave Soushek and Mike Moore in 1999, is 7,428 yards from the tips, rates 75.6 with a 134 slope and is a favorite test for golfers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Designed by Robert Muir Graves, Port Ludlow provides a challenging and rewarding golf experience. Go hole to hole and wind through lush greens and fairways that overlook lakes and streams, hazards that provide a challenge for any golfer. Towering evergreens open up to stunning views of Hood Canal, Ludlow Bay and the Olympic and Cascade mountains. And you'll enjoy the spectacular natural surroundings where deer roam, eagles fly and wildflowers explode with color.
