Previous Events At The Port Townsend Golf Park
Spring Break Youth Golf Clinic
We had a great turnout for our Youth Golf Clinic. Over the course of the two day event, sixty-two potential PGA, LPGA stars, ages 4-15 came out to test their mettle with the irons, woods, and greens. A wide variety of style and form were on display as the participants, with help from more than a dozen volunteers and parents, explored the basics of the game. It’s a fair assessment to say that what, some may have lacked in skill, they made up for with enthusiasm and joy.
First Sunday In March 2024
Over 200 people braved the cold and wind to participate in the Golf Park's inaugural, First Sunday Event. There was food by BluJay, drinks from The Bar Car, music by Luckypenny Traditional Irish Music, and jazz from Ben's Amigos. It was a great, if frigid, opportunity to play some croquet, get a free golf lesson on the driving range, toss some corn hole, play a few holes of disc golf or take the doggo for a walk before warming by the fire pit.

Grand Opening and 120 Year Anniversary
Over 600 hardy locals and a few outlanders, braved a classic spring PT drizzle and rain to attend the 120th Anniversary and Grand Opening Celebration of the Camas Prairie Park. After welcoming remarks by Board President Bob Wheeler, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribal Council vice chair Loni Greninger, tribal elder Celeste Dybeck and Mayor David Faber, they were treated to some amazing music by the Dawg trio, featuring David Grisman, Tracy Grisman and Danny Barnes, Golf Dub with David Egeler, the Sweater Weather String Band and, of course, the Unexpected Brass Band to start the day. There were games and contests for everyone, a fun run, disc golf, chipping and putting events. There were over a dozen booths with food, merchandise and information about the course, the prairie, and the parks plan for the future. A very special thanks goes out to First Federal for sponsoring this event. To see the Gallery, click the button below.

A New Lease On Life
On Friday December 15, 2023 the City of Port Townsend and Friends of the Port Townsend Golf Park, signed a 22 year lease for the Port Townsend Golf Park. The first two years of the lease, which will take effect on January 1, 2024, will require the non-profit Friends organization to begin restoration of the property, develop a business plan, and meet metrics for public access, outreach and involvement of additional community and recreational groups, as well as increasing access for the general public. When those metrics are met, the lease will be automatically extended for an additional 20 years.
Current plans include the addition of Disc and Foot Golf, walking trails, increasing native plantings and expansion of the Camas prairie, as well as periodic use of the driving range as an amphitheater for public performances and events. The course will also be closed to golf activities at specific times so that the public can simply wander and enjoy the open space and its environs.
Over the following 5 years, along with continuing restoration, the Friends will be adding Mini-Golf and, in partnership with the City, develop a playground to increase family access.
The historic PT golf course, oldest course in a single location in Washington, has suffered from years of deferred maintenance. Initial support for the project has been strong and deeply gratifying but much more needs to be done to bring the Park to fruition. The non-profit Friends of the Port Townsend Golf Park continues to seek donations and volunteers for this community project. If you’re interested in helping, please click the link below.
