A quarter century ago, DuPont, Washington, was a place of little distinction beyond its ties to a nearby military base and history as a company town whose primary product was dynamite. It had fewer than 1,000 residents, and other than a small village area, there was little to see or do.
Today, DuPont has grown to 10,000 residents, with another 2,000 proposed homes near The Home Course, which has become a bucket-list track for players across the Northwest. Golfers vie for precious tee times three weeks ahead of play and fill the course to the tune of 50,000 rounds a year.
How has golf transformed this community? Senior editor Tod Leonard visited DuPont and writes about why it’s one of the Best Little Golf Towns in America.
