Scenic Heights Golf Course
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the ideal time of year to play Scenic Heights Golf Course?
Given its elevation, we find late spring through early fall offers the best conditions at Scenic Heights. You'll avoid the unpredictable winds of winter and enjoy lush fairways, plus those famous panoramic views are clearest then. Just be sure to book your tee time well in advance, especially for weekend mornings.
How challenging is Scenic Heights, especially with its elevation changes?
Scenic Heights lives up to its name with significant elevation changes that will test your club selection and stamina. The par-3 14th, dropping over 100 feet to a green guarded by a creek, is a real beauty and a beast. We highly recommend taking a cart to conserve energy, as walking this course is a serious workout.
What's the absolute must-see or signature hole at Scenic Heights?
Without a doubt, the stretch from holes 12 through 15 offers breathtaking vistas that will distract you from your swing - in a good way. The 13th, a par-5 that doglegs around a cliff face, provides an incredible photo opportunity with the valley spread out below. It's a truly memorable experience, even if your score isn't.
What should I expect to pay for a round at Scenic Heights, and is it worth the price?
Green fees at Scenic Heights typically range from $120-$180, depending on the season and time of day, with carts usually included. While it's not a budget option, we firmly believe the immaculate conditions, unique layout, and unparalleled views make it a fantastic value for a premium golf experience. Consider an afternoon twilight rate for a slightly lower cost.
Are there any specific gear recommendations or tips for playing Scenic Heights?
Definitely bring extra golf balls - those dramatic drops and tight fairways can be unforgiving. We also suggest wearing comfortable, sturdy golf shoes with good grip, as some of the cart paths and walking areas can be steep. Don't forget your camera; the views are too good not to capture.
