Today the Resort at Port Ludlow continues to gain attention with is conference center, Inn, Marina and 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Muir Graves. The facilities are popular for weddings, group meetings and yacht club rendezvous. Two homeowner associations provide amenities such as pools, tennis courts, trails and parks.
