Green Crest Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge with the 'Crest Ridge' holes on Green Crest's back nine?

You'll find the Crest Ridge stretch, holes 13-15, demands precision over power. The elevation changes and crosswinds here are no joke, so we recommend clubbing down and focusing on hitting the greens in regulation to avoid trouble. It's where many rounds go sideways, but also where you can make up ground if you play smart.

When is the absolute best time to play Green Crest for prime conditions and a good pace?

We've found late spring, specifically May, offers Green Crest at its absolute best - the fairways are lush, and the greens roll true. To avoid the crowds and enjoy a quicker round, aim for a weekday morning tee time; you'll have a much more relaxed experience. Summer afternoons can get a bit slow, especially on weekends.

Is Green Crest a good value, and what should I expect from the facilities?

Absolutely, Green Crest offers fantastic value for a course of its caliber, especially compared to others in the region. You'll get well-maintained fairways and consistently good greens, plus a friendly, no-frills clubhouse with a solid pro shop and a grill that makes a mean burger. Don't expect resort luxury, but do expect a quality golf experience.

How tricky are the greens at Green Crest, and what's your best putting advice?

The greens at Green Crest are deceptively tricky, often featuring subtle breaks that aren't immediately obvious. Our best advice is to always check your putt from both sides of the hole, as the grain can have a significant impact here. They tend to run a bit faster in the afternoon, so adjust your pace accordingly.

What's the best way to warm up and cool down at Green Crest, and are there good practice facilities?

Green Crest has a decent driving range with grass tees, which we always appreciate, and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's conditions. After your round, grab a cold drink on the clubhouse patio overlooking the 18th green - it's a perfect spot to recap your birdies and commiserate over bogeys. Don't skip the range; it's a good indicator of how you'll hit on the course.
