Dows Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Dows Golf Course?

We've found the sweet spot for Dows is definitely late spring or early fall. You'll avoid the summer's sticky humidity and enjoy perfect playing conditions, especially when the leaves start to turn vibrant colors in October.

What makes Dows Golf Course unique, and how challenging is it for an average golfer?

Dows isn't a brute, but it's no pushover either-those greens are deceptively sloped, especially on the back nine. The par-3 7th, playing over the old quarry pond, is a real beauty and a proper test of nerve.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Dows, and is it good value?

Expect to pay around $70-90 for a prime weekend tee time, which we think is an absolute steal for the quality you get here. It consistently offers one of the best value rounds in the region, without feeling like a budget course.

What's the atmosphere like at Dows Golf Course, especially after a round?

The clubhouse at Dows is wonderfully unpretentious-it's where locals gather, and you should too. Grab a burger and a cold local brew on the patio; it's the perfect way to dissect your round.

How far in advance should I book a tee time at Dows Golf Course?

While Dows is a local favorite, it's not impossible to get a tee time, but we always recommend booking at least a week out for weekend mornings. If you're flexible, weekday afternoons often have more availability and sometimes better rates.
