Olde Eight Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge you'll face at Olde Eight Golf Club?

Olde Eight truly tests your iron play, especially on the back nine where the greens are deceptively sloped and well-guarded. Don't let the mature tree lines fool you; accuracy off the tee is paramount to avoid punch-outs. We found the par-3 14th, with its elevated green and prevailing crosswind, to be a real card-wrecker if you're not dialed in.

When is the best time of year to play Olde Eight for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Olde Eight in late spring or early fall. The course is typically in pristine condition then, with firm fairways and true-rolling greens, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity. Plus, the vibrant foliage in October makes for some truly stunning views, especially around holes 7 and 8.

Is Olde Eight Golf Club a good value for the green fee?

Absolutely, we think Olde Eight offers excellent value, especially considering the consistent course conditioning and classic design. Expect green fees to range from $75-120, depending on the day and time, which is a steal for a course of this caliber. You're paying for a well-maintained, challenging round, not just a name.

What's the post-round experience like at Olde Eight, and what should we check out?

After your round, head straight to "The Turn," their casual grill and bar, for a fantastic local craft beer selection and some surprisingly good pub fare. We always grab a burger there; it's the perfect spot to recount your birdies and bogeys. Don't miss browsing the pro shop either, they often have unique Olde Eight branded gear you won't find anywhere else.

What's one crucial tip for navigating the notoriously tricky 18th hole at Olde Eight?

The 18th at Olde Eight is a fantastic finishing hole, but it demands respect. Your tee shot needs to favor the left side of the fairway to avoid the large oak on the right, which often blocks approaches. For your second shot, trust your yardage and aim for the front of the green; anything long or right will find the bunker or worse.
