Plainview Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the signature challenge at Plainview Country Club, and which hole should I look out for?
Plainview's real test lies in its deceptive elevation changes, especially on the back nine. You'll find the par-3 14th, 'The Gorge,' particularly memorable - it demands a precise carry over a deep ravine, often playing a club longer than you think.
When is the best time of year to experience Plainview's course conditions?
We always recommend late spring or early fall for Plainview. The bentgrass greens are at their purest then, rolling fast and true, and the cooler air makes for a much more comfortable walk without the summer humidity.
Can non-members play at Plainview, and what's the typical guest experience?
Yes, you can play Plainview as a guest, but you'll need to be accompanied by a member or book through a reciprocal club arrangement. Expect a premium green fee, typically in the $150-200 range, which reflects the immaculate conditioning and top-tier service you'll receive.
What's the key to scoring well on Plainview's tricky greens?
Plainview's greens are known for their subtle, often uphill breaks that are tough to read. Trust your caddie or, if walking solo, always play a little more break than your eye tells you, especially on putts from above the hole.
What's the best way to unwind after a round at Plainview Country Club?
After your round, head straight to 'The 19th Hole' patio - it offers fantastic views of the 18th green and a great selection of local craft beers. Their clubhouse burger is surprisingly excellent, a perfect reward after tackling those challenging fairways.
