Lionhead Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

I hear Lionhead has two courses - should I play the Legends or the Masters?

If you're looking for a true test, the Legends course is your pick; it's a beast with dramatic elevation changes and tricky greens that demand precision. For a more forgiving, yet still engaging round, the Masters course offers wider fairways and a slightly gentler challenge, perfect for a relaxed day. We recommend trying both if you have the time, but start with Legends if you're feeling confident.

When is the best time of year to visit Lionhead Golf Club for the best playing conditions?

We find late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) offers the sweet spot at Lionhead. The weather is typically fantastic, and the courses are in prime condition without the peak summer crowds or scorching heat. You'll enjoy lush fairways and firm greens, making for an ideal round.

How challenging are the courses at Lionhead, especially for a mid-handicapper?

Lionhead definitely offers a stout challenge, particularly the Legends course, which will test every club in your bag with its length and strategic bunkering. As a mid-handicapper, you'll appreciate the Masters course for its playability while still demanding thoughtful shot-making. Don't be afraid to play a tee box forward to truly enjoy your round here.

What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value at Lionhead Golf Club?

Lionhead is a premium public course, so expect green fees to reflect that, especially on weekends and during peak season. However, we genuinely believe the immaculate conditions, challenging layouts, and excellent practice facilities make it a fantastic value for your golf dollar. Look for twilight rates or weekday specials for a slightly more budget-friendly option.

Are there any specific holes or unique features at Lionhead Golf Club that really stand out?

Absolutely, the par-3 17th on the Legends course is a stunner - a long carry over water to a well-guarded green that will test your nerves. On the Masters, keep an eye out for the dramatic elevation changes on holes like the 10th, offering breathtaking views and demanding precise club selection. Both courses feature excellent variety and memorable moments.
