Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Northern Pines Golf Club?

We highly recommend visiting from late spring through early fall. If you can time it right, late September offers breathtaking fall foliage as a backdrop, though you might encounter cooler, crisp mornings. Summer provides consistent conditions, but book your tee time early to avoid the midday heat and busier crowds.

What's the most challenging hole at Northern Pines, and how should I approach it?

You'll quickly discover the par-3 14th is Northern Pines' signature test. It demands a precise carry over a deep, tree-lined ravine to a well-guarded green, often playing longer than its yardage due to the prevailing wind. Don't be afraid to take an extra club here; a bogey is a good score you'll be proud of.

Is Northern Pines a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While the front nine is relatively flat and quite walkable, we strongly recommend a cart for the back nine. It features some significant elevation changes and longer, uphill treks between greens and tees, especially around holes 12 through 16. Save your energy for your swing, not the walk.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Northern Pines, and is it good value?

Green fees at Northern Pines are mid-range for a course of this quality, typically ranging from $70-$120 depending on the season and time of day. We consider it excellent value; you're paying for meticulously maintained bentgrass greens and fairways, plus those unforgettable, towering pine-lined vistas that truly define the experience.

How is the pace of play typically managed at Northern Pines?

Northern Pines generally does a great job managing its tee sheet, so you can usually expect a round in about four to four and a half hours. Weekends, especially Saturday mornings, can get a bit slower, so we suggest a weekday afternoon if you're looking for a quicker, more relaxed pace.
