While it operates as a private club, they often have reciprocal agreements or specific guest days, so always call ahead for a tee time.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Clarendon Country Club?

You absolutely need to prepare for the par-3 14th hole at Clarendon; it's a real beauty and a beast. With water guarding the front and right, and a tricky bunker left, club selection is paramount to avoid a big number. It's a true test of nerve and precision.

When is the best time of year to play Clarendon Country Club, and what can I expect from the course conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Clarendon in late spring or early fall; the fairways are typically lush, and the greens roll true and fast then. Avoid the peak summer heat if you can, as the Bermuda grass can get a bit firm, though it's always well-maintained. You'll appreciate the consistent upkeep.

Clarendon's clubhouse offers a fantastic post-round experience, with a welcoming grill room and a well-stocked pro shop.

Don't skip the practice range; it's excellent.

You'll generally find a good pace of play at Clarendon, especially on weekdays, usually around four hours. Our top tip is to pay close attention to the subtle breaks on the greens; they often look flatter than they play. Trust your caddie or your gut on those tricky putts.
