Ferndale Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Ferndale Country Club, beyond just the scorecard?

You'll find the real test at Ferndale isn't just its length, but the subtle undulations on the greens. We've seen many a good round go sideways on the back nine's tricky putting surfaces, especially holes 14-16, so bring your best short game.

Are there any must-play holes or unique features at Ferndale I should look out for?

Absolutely, don't miss the par-3 7th hole; it plays over a ravine to a well-guarded green, offering stunning views of the valley. We always recommend taking an extra club here, as the wind can be a sneaky factor that changes your shot dramatically.

When is the absolute best time to visit Ferndale Country Club for ideal playing conditions?

We've found late spring, specifically May and early June, offers Ferndale at its absolute peak. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and the summer heat hasn't yet baked out the course, making for perfect scoring conditions.

How accessible are tee times at Ferndale, and what should I expect regarding green fees as a non-member?

Getting a tee time at Ferndale as a non-member can be a bit tricky, but it's not impossible; we recommend booking well in advance, especially for weekend mornings. Expect green fees to be on the higher side, typically in the $150-$200 range, but the course quality truly justifies the investment.

What's the vibe like at the clubhouse or 19th hole after a round at Ferndale?

The 19th hole at Ferndale, known as 'The Oak Room,' has a wonderfully relaxed, classic country club feel without being stuffy. We always grab a local craft beer and their famous 'Ferndale Burger' there - it's the perfect way to unwind and discuss your round.
