Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Standard Club, and what should I expect from the conditions?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most consistent weather and prime playing conditions at Standard Club. The course really shines when the bentgrass greens are firm and fast, which is typically from May to October. You'll want to book ahead, as these are popular times.

Are there any signature holes or unique challenges I should be aware of at Standard Club?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th over water is a real beauty and a card-wrecker if you're not precise - it demands your full attention. We also love the strategic bunkering on the par-5 7th; it forces you to think twice about going for it in two. Don't just grip it and rip it here.

How does Standard Club compare in terms of value for its green fees?

We consider Standard Club an excellent value, especially given the pristine conditions and thoughtful layout you'll experience. While not the cheapest round, the quality of the greens and fairways consistently justifies the price, often feeling like a private club experience. Expect to pay in the $120-$180 range, depending on the day and time.

What's the post-round experience like at Standard Club? Is there a good place to grab a bite?

After your round, we always head to "The Nineteenth," their clubhouse grill, which has a fantastic patio overlooking the 18th green. The casual menu is surprisingly good - try the club sandwich - and it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots with a cold drink. It's a relaxed atmosphere, not stuffy at all.

Is Standard Club a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While the terrain at Standard Club isn't overly dramatic, there are some significant distances between greens and tees, particularly on the back nine. We recommend taking a cart to conserve energy, especially if you're playing in the warmer months, so you can focus on your swing, not your steps. You'll appreciate it by the 15th hole.
