Detailed description

Discovery Bay Golf Club, formerly known as Chevy Chase Golf Club is a Public 18 hole golf course located in Port Townsend, Washington.

The front nine at Discovery Bay Golf Club (refered to as the farm nine) is the original 9 holes of Chevy Chase. Carved out of a farm pasture the "farm nine" opened on May 9, 1925. The back nine at Discovery Bay Golf Club (referred to as the forest nine) built out of the heavily forested hill above the front nine . The back nine opened on May 9, 1997, 72 years after the front nine. The design of the back nine was done by Michael Asmundson

The Discovery Bay Golf Club golf course has narrow tree lined fairways. The terrain is flat on the front nine and more hilly on the back. Water hazards come into play on holes #4 and #17. Sand bunkers also come into play on nearly every hole. The greens are small with a few on the front nine being very undulating. Otherwise, they are predominantly flat and a little slow.

Par for the course is 73. From the back tees the course plays to 6656 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5185 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 18, a par-5 that plays to 537 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 2, a par-3 that plays to 156 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 6, a 423 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Discovery Bay Golf Club is # 14, a 163 yard par-3.
