Brownstone Country Club & Resort
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most memorable hole at Brownstone, and what's your best advice for playing it?
You absolutely have to brace yourself for the par-3 14th, known as "The Quarry." It demands a precise carry over an old stone quarry to a tiered green, often battling a swirling crosswind. We recommend taking one extra club and aiming for the center of the green - don't get greedy trying to attack the pin.
When's the ideal time to visit Brownstone Country Club & Resort for the best golf and overall experience?
We always steer friends towards late spring, specifically May, or early fall in September. The weather is consistently perfect for golf, the course is in peak condition, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and humidity. Plus, the surrounding foliage in September is just stunning.
What unique amenities or experiences does Brownstone offer beyond its championship course?
Beyond the fantastic golf, Brownstone truly shines with its farm-to-table dining experience at "The Stone Hearth." They source almost everything locally, and the chef's tasting menu is a must-try after your round. Don't miss the sunset views from the clubhouse terrace - they're spectacular.
What should I expect regarding pace of play at Brownstone, and are caddies recommended?
Brownstone generally maintains a good pace, aiming for four-hour rounds, especially if you book an early morning tee time. We highly recommend taking a forecaddie; their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on the greens and optimal landing zones is invaluable and will definitely speed up your play.
Is Brownstone a good fit for high-handicappers, or is it primarily for advanced golfers?
Brownstone is surprisingly accommodating for all skill levels, thanks to its five sets of tees. While the tips present a formidable challenge, the forward tees significantly shorten the course and open up many more scoring opportunities. You'll still enjoy the stunning scenery and immaculate conditions, regardless of your handicap.
