Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play a round at Somerset Country Club if I'm not a member?

Somerset Country Club is a private course, so you can't just walk on. Your best bet is to find a member to invite you as their guest; that's how we've always gotten on. They do occasionally host charity tournaments or reciprocal play events, so keep an eye on their website for those rare opportunities.

What's the real test at Somerset Country Club, and what kind of golfer will truly appreciate it?

The course at Somerset really shines with its classic tree-lined fairways and surprisingly subtle greens - don't let their gentle contours fool you. It's a fantastic test for golfers who appreciate strategic shot-making over pure power, and you'll definitely want to bring your A-game with the short stick.

When is the ideal time of year to experience Somerset Country Club at its best?

We always recommend playing Somerset in early fall, typically late September through October. The mature trees lining the fairways burst into incredible color, and the cooler temperatures make for perfect walking conditions. Plus, the course is usually in prime shape after the summer growing season.

Is there a particular hole at Somerset Country Club that truly stands out or is a must-play?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th hole is a real beauty and a classic challenge. It plays downhill to a green guarded by a creek in front and bunkers behind, demanding a precise iron shot. Take a moment on the tee to soak in the panoramic views of the valley before you commit to your swing.

What's the post-round experience like at Somerset Country Club, and are there any amenities worth checking out?

After your round, head straight to the classic clubhouse for a drink on the veranda overlooking the 18th green - it's a tradition. Their grill room serves up a fantastic burger, perfect for recounting your best shots. Don't skip the practice putting green; it's always meticulously maintained and great for honing your touch.
