Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to experience Lake o' the Hills without the crowds?

We always recommend hitting Lake o' the Hills in late spring or early fall, typically May or September. You'll find the course in prime condition, the weather is fantastic for golf, and the summer rush has either not started or already passed. Plus, the views of the lake with the changing foliage are absolutely stunning.

How challenging are the 'hills' and 'lake' elements at Lake o' the Hills for an average golfer?

Don't let the name intimidate you too much; while the elevation changes on the back nine are real, they offer some incredible downhill tee shots, not just uphill slogs. The lake comes into play on about five holes, particularly around the 7th and 18th, so bring a few extra balls if your short game isn't dialed in. It's a fair test, but not unfairly punishing.

What's the one hole at Lake o' the Hills that everyone talks about, and why?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th hole is the showstopper here, offering a dramatic downhill shot over a ravine to a green nestled by the lake. The panoramic views from the tee box are breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for that post-round photo. Just try not to get too distracted by the scenery and remember to commit to your swing.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Lake o' the Hills, and is it worth the green fee?

Green fees at Lake o' the Hills typically range from $75-$120, depending on the day and time you play, with twilight rates offering a good deal. We absolutely think it's worth it; you're paying for a meticulously maintained course with truly unique topography and those unforgettable lake views. It's a memorable experience, not just another round.

Beyond the course itself, what unique amenities or experiences does Lake o' the Hills offer?

After your round, definitely grab a drink and a bite at The Boathouse Grill, their clubhouse restaurant, which boasts an incredible patio overlooking the 18th green and the lake.
