John Pitman Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play John Pitman Golf Club?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most enjoyable conditions here. You'll avoid the early morning chill and the peak summer humidity, making for a much more comfortable round. Aim for a weekday morning if you can, as it gets busy.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at John Pitman Golf Club?

Without a doubt, it's the greens - they're deceptively sloped and often quicker than they look. We recommend spending extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their subtle breaks before your round. Don't be afraid to play for the middle of the green.

Is John Pitman Golf Club a good value for the greens fees?

Absolutely, it's one of the best bangs for your buck in the region if you appreciate a well-kept, no-frills round. You're paying for solid golf on a mature layout, not a fancy clubhouse, which keeps the costs down. Expect a fair price for a genuinely enjoyable experience.

Are there any specific holes at John Pitman Golf Club we should look out for?

The par-3 14th is a real beauty, playing over a small pond to a two-tiered green - it's a classic risk-reward. Also, the finishing stretch from 16 to 18 offers some great strategic challenges, especially the dogleg 17th where placement off the tee is key. You'll want to bring your A-game for the back nine.

How busy does John Pitman Golf Club get, and what's the typical pace of play?

On weekends, especially Saturday mornings, it can get quite crowded, so expect a 4.5-5 hour round. If you prefer a quicker pace, we highly recommend booking an early weekday tee time; you'll often have the course to yourself. The staff does a good job of keeping things moving, but it's a popular spot.
