Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the signature experience at Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club, and how do the redwoods factor in?

You'll find the towering redwoods aren't just a backdrop here-they're an integral part of the course's character, especially on the back nine where fairways narrow and demand precision. It's a truly immersive experience, feeling both grand and intimate as you navigate shots framed by these ancient giants. We particularly love the dramatic approach on the 14th, where the trees create a natural cathedral around the green.

When is the absolute best time of year to play Redwood Empire for ideal conditions and scenery?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall, typically May-June or September-October. During these months, you'll enjoy comfortably mild temperatures, less chance of rain, and the course is usually in peak condition, offering firm fairways and true-rolling greens. The light filtering through the redwoods during these seasons is simply magical.

How challenging is the course at Redwood Empire, and what should I prepare for on the greens?

Redwood Empire offers a fair but engaging challenge, especially if you're not used to playing among mature trees; accuracy off the tee is rewarded more than brute strength. The greens are generally well-maintained and roll true, but they feature subtle undulations that can be tricky-pay close attention to breaks, as they often aren't as obvious as they seem. We always advise a practice putt or two to get a feel for their speed.

What can I expect regarding the overall value and amenities when I book a round at Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club?

You'll find the green fees here offer excellent value for a course of this caliber, especially considering the unique redwood setting and well-kept conditions. Beyond the course, the clubhouse provides a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with a pro shop and a casual dining area perfect for a post-round meal. It's a classic country club experience without being overly stuffy.

After a round, what's the best way to unwind or grab a bite right there at Redwood Empire?

After your round, we always head straight to the clubhouse's Grill Room; it's the perfect spot to relax and recount your best shots. They serve up solid pub fare-think great burgers and sandwiches-and the local craft beer selection is always a winner. You'll appreciate the friendly staff and the laid-back atmosphere, making it a great end to your golf day.
