The Home Course is a public golf course owned and operated by the Washington State Golf Association[1] and Pacific Northwest Golf Association,[2] located in DuPont, Washington, just south of Tacoma. The Home Course is often referred to as "The Home of Golf in the Northwest"[3] and has hosted a number of championships over the years including the 2014 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links, along with being the companion course to Chambers Bay for the 2010 U.S. Amateur.

Course Design

[edit]

The Home Course was designed by golf course architect Mike Asmundson, and opened for play in the summer of 2007. It is located on the site of a former dynamite manufacturing plant that was operated by the DuPont company, and after which the city of DuPont was named.[4] The Home Course has five different sets of tees ranging from 7,424 yards at the longest to 5,470 yards at the shortest.[5] The Home Course also has a set of tees for beginners, called the Little Home Course.
