Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Captains Golf Course for ideal conditions?
We always recommend targeting the shoulder seasons-late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October)-to experience Captains at its best. You'll find the fairways lush, the greens true, and the crowds much thinner than in peak summer, making for a more relaxed and enjoyable round.
How challenging are the two courses at Captains, and which one should I play first?
Captains offers two distinct 18-hole layouts: the Port Course and the Starboard Course. The Port is generally more forgiving with wider fairways, perfect for warming up, while the Starboard demands more precision with tighter tree-lined holes and trickier green complexes. Start with Port if you're looking for a relaxed round, but don't miss Starboard for a true test of your game.
What's the typical cost to play Captains Golf Course, and is it good value for the money?
Expect to pay in the mid-$70s to low-$100s for a prime weekend tee time, with weekday rates a bit lower. We think it's excellent value; you're getting two well-maintained, engaging public courses that often feel more like private club experiences, especially considering the quality of the greens.
What's a unique feature or signature hole at Captains Golf Course that I shouldn't miss?
Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th on the Starboard Course-it's a real beauty. You're hitting over a marshy area to a well-bunkered green, often with a tricky crosswind, and the views back towards the clubhouse are fantastic. It's a true risk-reward hole that defines the course's character.
Do you have any insider tips for booking tee times or navigating a round at Captains?
Absolutely-book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're aiming for a weekend morning, as they fill up fast. Also, consider walking the Port Course; it's a very walkable layout, and you'll appreciate the subtle elevation changes more on foot.
