The Home Course • DuPont
By now, everyone knows the story of the South Sound course that opened in the fall of 2007 and immediately earned rave reviews, ultimately being selected to host a USGA championship.
Oh, did you think we were talking about Chambers Bay? We’re talking about The Home Course, so named for its status as the headquarters of the Pacific Northwest Golf Association, the regional arm of the USGA.
While The Home Course’s opening in 2007 was largely overshadowed by that of its 2010 U.S. Amateur co-host 11 miles up the coast, its reputation has only grown with each passing season. Fans of John Fought’s Washington National or Trophy Lake will recognize similar features, including broad, rolling fairways and large greens. Low and high-handicappers alike will have a shot at birdie, and even a poor round comes with the knowledge that a portion of your greens fee went directly to support the growth of the game in our state.
