Frequently Asked Questions

Which of Hermitage's two courses should I play - The President's Reserve or The General's Retreat?

The President's Reserve is definitely the championship test, demanding precision off the tee and around its tricky greens. If you're looking for a more relaxed, scenic round with wider fairways, The General's Retreat is your play, offering a bit more forgiveness and some truly beautiful riverside holes. We recommend playing both if you have the time, but start with The General's Retreat to get comfortable.

What's the best time of year to play Hermitage Golf Course for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We find late spring, typically April and May, or early fall in September and October, offers the perfect balance at Hermitage. The weather is fantastic, the courses are in peak condition, and you'll avoid the peak summer heat and the busiest holiday crowds. Book your tee times well in advance, especially for weekend mornings during these windows.

Is Hermitage Golf Course a good value for the money, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Absolutely, Hermitage offers excellent value, especially considering the quality of both layouts and the immaculate conditioning. Green fees typically range from $75-$120, depending on the season and time of day, which is a steal for a course of this caliber in the region. You're getting a premium experience without the premium price tag you might find elsewhere.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or experiences does Hermitage offer that I shouldn't miss?

Don't just rush off after your round - the clubhouse at Hermitage has a fantastic patio overlooking the 18th green of The President's Reserve, perfect for a post-round drink and bite. Their practice facilities are also top-notch, with a huge driving range and excellent short game areas, so arrive early to warm up properly. We always grab a local craft beer from the pro shop to enjoy on the patio.

How challenging is Hermitage Golf Course for a mid-handicapper, and what's its signature hole?

For a mid-handicapper, The President's Reserve can be a real challenge, especially with its tight tree-lined fairways and well-bunkered greens, so bring your A-game. The signature hole is undoubtedly the par-3 14th on The President's Reserve, requiring a precise shot over water to a multi-tiered green - it's a beauty and a beast. The General's Retreat is much more forgiving and enjoyable for a mid-handicapper.
