Longwood Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We think late spring and early fall are absolutely prime at Longwood. The course truly shines when the dogwoods are blooming or the maples are turning, offering stunning backdrops, especially on holes 7 and 14. You'll find the greens are at their fastest and most consistent during these shoulder seasons, too.

How challenging is Longwood Golf Club for an average golfer?

Longwood offers a really fair test, but don't mistake "fair" for "easy." The front nine is quite open, letting you get into a rhythm, but the back nine tightens up significantly, especially around holes 12 through 16, where accuracy off the tee becomes paramount. You'll need to think your way around those tree-lined fairways.

What's the typical cost to play Longwood, and is it good value?

You'll generally find Longwood's green fees to be very competitive for the quality of play, usually in the $50-$80 range depending on the day and time. We consistently find the course well-maintained, particularly the greens, which makes it an excellent value for a public track. Look for twilight rates in the summer for an even better deal.

Does Longwood Golf Club have any standout or "signature" holes?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 17th - it's a beauty and a beast. You're hitting over a deep ravine to a well-bunkered green, and club selection is crucial with the prevailing wind. It's a fantastic risk-reward hole that can make or break your round right before the finish.

What kind of practice facilities and clubhouse amenities does Longwood offer?

Longwood has a solid, no-frills practice area. You'll find a decent driving range with grass tees, a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's surfaces, and a separate chipping area. The clubhouse is comfortable, offering a casual grill for post-round burgers and a cold drink - perfect for reliving your best shots.
