A New Name For A New Era
On May 5, 2024 we became Camas Prairie Golf Park and Camas Prairie Golf Course to honor the unique natural history of this special place and the broader community we serve. If you’d like more information on this change and what it means, please check our FAQs by clicking the link below
Disc Golf News
Over the past few weeks we’ve been experimenting with disc golf playing concurrently with traditional golf. The results have been very encouraging, with both playing at about the same pace throughout the course. So far, we’ve had no significant issues or complaints. During the month of May we will be continuing to offer tee times for both during the day as we refine basket and tee placement, hole alignment, and timing. We’re excited to bring this fast growing sport to Port Townsend and expect it to become a permanent feature at the Camas Prairie Golf Course. You can book a disc tee time in person or by calling our ProShop at (360) 385-4547. Online booking is not yet available for disc golf but, likely, will be soon.

Employment Opportunity
Pro- Shop Lead
The non-profit Friends of Port Townsend Golf Park is looking for an enthusiastic multi-tasker to join our team operating the golf park and clubhouse. For more information click below.
From its very beginnings the Port Townsend Golf Park has been a citizen driven initiative.
After decades of deferred maintenance, city government considered closing and repurposing our historic golf course for housing, open space and a park. With no funding for either development or maintenance in the 2024 budget, it was likely to go feral at the expiration of the current lease in December of 2023. It could have become another of the many lost opportunities for recreation and community in our city’s history.
Friends of the PTGP was formed by local residents who had a different vision for the property, one that honored its past but was more inclusive and broader in its possibilities for the future.
Working cooperatively with the City, over the period of 2 months an agreement was reached that would give new life to an old idea.
We envision a restored golf course that accommodates golf in its many forms; traditional, disc, mini, and foot golf. Also, and importantly, a place where non-golfers and their families can enjoy outdoor performances, activities and events with opportunities to simply walk the beautiful grounds and appreciate the wildlife and native plants that exist there in profusion. We also anticipate a full service welcoming center where groups can meet and friends can enjoy a meal and beverage.
But here’s the catch. It can’t happen without your help. Until the Park becomes self-sustaining, likely 5 years, we will be dependent on volunteers and donations.
We sincerely hope you will join us in this undertaking and help create a community legacy for future generations of residents and visitors.
