1st Tee

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play 1st Tee for ideal conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall here; the summer humidity can be brutal, and the course plays much longer when the ground is soft. You'll find the greens are at their absolute best in October, offering true rolls that make a real difference to your score.

Is 1st Tee a good course for beginners, or is it more for experienced players?

While it's not overly punishing, 1st Tee definitely rewards accuracy over brute force, especially on the back nine's tighter, tree-lined fairways. Beginners will enjoy the front nine's wider landing areas, but be prepared for a real test of your short game as you approach the clubhouse.

What's the signature hole at 1st Tee, and what makes it special?

The par-3 14th is undoubtedly the showstopper, playing over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green that slopes severely from back to front. It's a true risk-reward shot that demands a precise iron, and trust us, you'll want to take an extra club to clear that deep front bunker.

How does the value at 1st Tee compare to other courses in the region?

For the quality of conditioning and the engaging layout, 1st Tee offers fantastic value, especially if you can snag a twilight rate after 3 PM. You're getting a championship-caliber experience without the championship price tag, which is a rare find in this area.

What should I know about the practice facilities or post-round experience at 1st Tee?

The practice range is solid, but don't miss the dedicated short game area-it's one of the best around for dialing in your wedges and bunker play. After your round, grab a burger at The Turnhouse Grill; their patio overlooks the 18th green and is the perfect spot to recap your birdies (and bogeys).
