Olde Mill Resort
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to play Olde Mill Resort for ideal conditions?
We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in prime condition, with comfortable temperatures and either lush greenery or stunning autumn foliage. Avoid mid-summer if you're not a fan of humidity, though the higher elevation does offer some relief.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Olde Mill, and what makes it truly stand out?
The dramatic elevation changes are your biggest test here; expect uphill approaches and downhill tee shots that demand precise club selection and often an extra club. What truly sets Olde Mill apart is its seamless integration with the natural mountain landscape, offering breathtaking vistas on nearly every hole, especially from the back nine.
Is Olde Mill Resort a good value for the greens fees, and what should I expect to pay?
We think it's an excellent value, especially considering the course quality and the stunning scenic beauty you get. Greens fees are generally mid-range for a resort course of this caliber, typically falling between $80-$120 depending on the season and day of the week, often including a cart.
Are there any 'must-play' holes or unique design features at Olde Mill I should look forward to?
Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th, often called 'The Waterfall Hole' - it's a beauty and a beast with water guarding the green. The entire back nine, carved into the mountainside, offers dramatic elevation drops and requires strategic shot placement, making it a truly memorable experience.
What practical advice do you have for someone planning a golf trip to Olde Mill, beyond just the course itself?
Plan to stay on-site if you can; the resort accommodations are comfortable and make for a seamless golf experience, letting you focus on the course. Also, bring plenty of balls - the mountain terrain can be unforgiving if you stray from the fairways, and you'll want to enjoy the views, not hunt for lost shots.
