Bob Martin

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Bob Martin (course) for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend late September or early October. The fall foliage around the fairways is stunning, and the summer rush has died down, giving you a more relaxed round. You'll find the greens are still quick, but the air is crisp and perfect for walking.

What's the signature challenge at Bob Martin (course), and how does its unique layout affect play?

The course truly comes alive on its back nine, especially the par-3 14th, which plays over a ravine to a tricky, elevated green. You'll need precise club selection here; anything short is gone, and long leaves a tough downhill chip. It's a real test of nerve and accuracy.

Is playing Bob Martin (course) worth the green fee, and what should I expect regarding value?

Absolutely, it's a solid value, especially if you book a twilight tee time after 3 PM. While the peak season rates are fair for the quality, you'll get a fantastic experience for less, often finishing just as the sun sets over the 18th. Don't skip the post-round poutine at the clubhouse-it's legendary.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or experiences should I look forward to at Bob Martin (course)?

You'll love the rustic, yet fully stocked, halfway house between holes 9 and 10, offering local craft beers and a surprisingly good smoked meat sandwich. It's a perfect spot to recharge and soak in the quiet, natural surroundings before tackling the back nine. We always make a point to stop.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing Bob Martin (course) for the first time?

Don't underestimate the elevation changes, especially on the front nine-many holes play significantly uphill or downhill, affecting your club choice more than you'd think. We strongly advise taking a cart if you're not accustomed to a hilly walk, as it will save your legs for your swing. Pay attention to the yardage book's elevation adjustments.
