Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Atkinson-Stuart Country Club?

We've found that late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) offers the most enjoyable conditions at Atkinson-Stuart. You'll avoid the intense summer humidity and the course will be in peak shape, with the greens running true and fast. It's truly a different experience when the weather cooperates.

What's the signature challenge or unique feature at Atkinson-Stuart Country Club?

Atkinson-Stuart truly shines with its demanding par-3s, particularly the 7th and 14th. The 7th requires a precise carry over water to a well-guarded green, while the 14th plays significantly uphill to a heavily bunkered green, demanding a club-and-a-half more than you'd expect. These holes will absolutely test your iron play.

Is Atkinson-Stuart Country Club open to the public, and what should I expect for green fees?

Atkinson-Stuart is primarily a private club, so you'll generally need to play as a guest of a member or inquire about limited reciprocal play opportunities. If you do get on, expect green fees to be in the upper-mid range for a premium private course- think $150-250, plus caddie if you opt for one. It's an investment, but worth it for the experience.

What's the dining experience like at Atkinson-Stuart Country Club after a round?

Don't miss the chance to grab a meal at the 19th Hole Grille; their prime rib sandwich is legendary among members and guests alike. It's a classic country club atmosphere, perfect for recounting your birdies (or bogeys) with a cold drink and a fantastic view of the 18th green.

What's one practical tip for someone playing Atkinson-Stuart Country Club for the first time?

Pay close attention to the subtle breaks on the greens- they often funnel towards the nearby creek, even when they appear flat. A good caddie is invaluable here, but if you're walking it yourself, always err on the side of playing less break than you think you see. Trust us, it'll save you strokes.
