Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to experience Cedar Groves, especially for the scenery?
We highly recommend visiting in late spring (May-June) for lush, vibrant greens and fewer crowds, or early fall (late September-early October) when the surrounding maples burst into incredible color. You'll find the course truly shines during these shoulder seasons, offering stunning backdrops for your round.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Cedar Groves, and what makes it unique?
The course truly tests your accuracy off the tee; those towering cedars aren't just for show, they'll gobble up errant shots. We found the back nine, particularly holes 12-15, demands precise iron play to navigate the elevation changes and cleverly placed bunkers.
Are there any specific holes at Cedar Groves that I absolutely shouldn't miss or that offer incredible views?
You absolutely must savor the par-3 7th hole, which plays downhill to a green guarded by a natural rock outcropping-it's stunning and requires a confident strike. Also, the panoramic vista from the 14th tee, overlooking the valley and distant peaks, is a perfect spot for a quick photo and a moment to appreciate the landscape.
How does the value at Cedar Groves compare to other top Canadian courses, and what should I expect for the green fee?
Cedar Groves offers excellent value, especially considering the immaculate conditioning and the unique, natural setting. While not the cheapest round you'll play in Canada, you're paying for a truly memorable experience with top-notch service and a course that feels genuinely integrated into its environment.
What's the post-round experience like at Cedar Groves, and are there any recommended spots to relax?
Don't rush off after your round; the clubhouse patio offers fantastic views of the 18th green and is perfect for a post-game beverage. Their casual grill serves up a surprisingly good local craft beer selection and hearty sandwiches, ideal for recounting your best shots.
