Happy New Year from the Golf Shop

Happy New Year!!! Thank you as always for your support and it was great to see everyone who stopped over for the Golf Shop’s annual “Bow Sale” this year. We trust that you enjoyed the savings on some of those last-minute gifts while Santas helpers were busy around the shop and pouring some holiday cheer!

With the holidays behind us a special thank you goes out to everyone who brought over donations during November and December for our annual food drive to benefit the Tri-Area Food Bank in Port Hadlock as we were able to donate just over 370 pounds of canned goods. This eclipsed the 180 lbs. we were able to donate last year. Your support is truly appreciated.

Now that our days are getting longer, before you know it, we will be into our Spring programs and fresh merchandise will be arriving in the Golf Shop. We are just starting to put the 2026 fitting schedule together so for those looking for some new clubs, keep an eye for the dates and your chance to see and get fit for some exciting new equipment coming down the line. Some of which has started to make its way out onto Tour already. 

Right around the corner will be the opportunity to sign up for the 2026 seasons and membership into the Men’s, WGA and Niners groups…application will be available in the Golf Shop. Look for more information to follow. Your support ensures that these groups continue to provide an opportunity for fellowship and friendly competition throughout the year. If you of someone who may be new to the area or may be looking to join one of the groups, let us know and we will be happy to share the necessary information to them. And for those of you looking to take advantage of the 3% discount on your 2026 dues, remember that payments in full must be made before January 15 by check or cash.

We are committed to continuous improvement at Port Ludlow and hope that each visit and club experience is better than the last and as always, thank you for your loyal patronage and support of the Golf Course and Club. 

Thank you again and I am privileged to serve you as your Head Golf Professional and wishing you and your family a happy and healthy New Year.

2026 GHIN Handicapping

Before you know it, we will be posting scores again so it’s time to help us get the handicap roster cleaned up for 2026. If you would like to be dropped off the roster for the upcoming year, please call the Golf Shop (360-437-0272) and let us know. Otherwise, we will be billing everyone on the active roster on February 1. 

There will be no increase in the handicap fees for the upcoming 2026 season ($52) and the handicapping fee will be billed to your PLGC club account. 

Member Trip to Bandon

I thought that I would share a few photos of our trip to Bandon Dunes the week before Christmas. Thank you to all who joined us on this golfing adventure and hope that it will provide you with plenty of fond memories of our time spent on and off the courses.  

Although December can produce a wide variety of weather on the coast of Oregon, the group was treated to some sun, gusty winds, brief bouts of showers and better than expected temperatures. Hope you will consider being part of the next trip!

JR's Sandtrap Update

We have local music starting January. We still have our daily specials and new scratch dishes coming in February. It’s college football playoff time which means it’s no better time than now to stop over to watch the games while you relax and sample the items from their menu or one of the daily specials. Grab your friends and let’s see who off to the “Natty”.

We want to thank all the members that supported our toy drive, benefiting the children at Dove House. The Trap donated an additional 100 toys to meet the need. 

Upcoming Music Lineup

Dr. G ~ Jan 22, Feb 5

Budapest West ~ Jan 15, Feb 19

For the 3rd straight off-season, Shawn and his crew have been able to continue a variety of on-course projects as our overnight temperatures continue to stay above freezing. As always, they continue to do a great job and are always focused on giving all golfers the best possible experience. Below are some pictures of some of the projects that have been completed or are in progress.

Tree thinning on Hole 12

Removing the bunker behind 18 green

Thank you for your continued patience and support as all of the on-course projects continue. By not hitting shots in the vicinity of work being done allows the staff to work safely as in most cases, the machinery being used makes it difficult to hear golfers yelling “fore”!

Resort Updates

Join us for our first Wine Tasting of 2026 on Tues, Jan 13 at 4pm featuring Marrowstone Vineyards.

Pre-purchase your tickets for $10 online and save ($15 at the door).

Join us for football watch parties starting this weekend through the Big Game—because cheering together is always better.

🍔 Game-day bites and beverage specials from The Fireside

▪ As our days get shorter, please remember that we require golf carts to be in 30 minutes prior to sunset

▪ Always take note of the daily carts rules which are posted at the 1st tee especially as we head into the fall and the possibility of “cart path only” conditions. Please be observant and take special care on all wet areas around the tees and greens as they can get quite slippery at times

▪ Daily cart restrictions are posted on the tee sign at Hole #1. We will always do our best to remind golfers, but please check before teeing off on #1

▪ Care of the golf course is all of our responsibilities…do your part and remember to repair your divots by using the sand/seed mix available on your cart. Also take the time to fix your ball mark and one other on each green and when in a bunker, use the rake to smooth out the sand for the next player. A little help goes a long, long way.

Remember…push don’t lift up. Thanks for your help!
