Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience Devil's Pulpit?

We highly recommend playing Devil's Pulpit in late spring or early fall. The course conditions are typically pristine, and you'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity that can make the hilly terrain feel even more demanding. Plus, the fall foliage around the Escarpment is absolutely stunning.

What truly sets Devil's Pulpit apart from other Canadian courses?

It's the dramatic, rugged landscape that makes the Pulpit so memorable. You're playing across the Niagara Escarpment, so expect significant elevation changes, exposed rock faces, and breathtaking views that few other courses in Canada can match. The design masterfully integrates these natural features, making every shot a strategic decision.

Is Devil's Pulpit accessible to the public, and what are the typical green fees?

Devil's Pulpit is a private, members-only club, so public access is generally not available. Your best bet to play is as a guest of a member, which is how we've always experienced it. If you're serious about playing, connecting with a member is your only real option.

How challenging is Devil's Pulpit for an average golfer, and what advice do you have?

The Pulpit is a serious test of golf, especially from the back tees. You'll face significant elevation changes, blind shots, and greens that demand precision. Our advice: play a tee box forward from what you normally would, and definitely take a caddie or use a GPS-enabled cart to navigate the unique layout.

Are there any specific holes at Devil's Pulpit that are particularly memorable or iconic?

Absolutely, the stretch from holes 13 through 16 is truly unforgettable. The 13th, a par-3, plays dramatically downhill to a green tucked into the rock face, while the 16th offers incredible views from its elevated tee. These holes perfectly encapsulate the course's rugged beauty and strategic design.
