Westwood Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Westwood Golf Course?

We always recommend aiming for late spring, specifically May or early June. The course is in pristine condition after the spring rains, the greens are fast, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat that can make the back nine a real slog. Plus, the early morning fog lifting over the 7th hole is truly something special.

What kind of golfer will really enjoy Westwood, and what are its biggest challenges?

Westwood is a fantastic test for the strategic golfer who values shot placement over raw power. You'll find the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, and the subtle undulations on the greens are notoriously tricky- expect a few three-putts if you're not dialed in. It's less about length and more about smart play.

What's one unique feature or "must-see" hole at Westwood that I shouldn't miss?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th, "The Quarry." It plays over an old rock quarry to a small, elevated green, demanding a precise iron shot. Don't be distracted by the stunning views; any shot short or right is gone, so commit to your club.

Is Westwood Golf Course good value for the money, and what amenities should I expect?

We think Westwood offers excellent value, especially considering the course's immaculate upkeep and challenging layout- it feels more expensive than it is. You'll find a well-stocked pro shop and a friendly grill room with surprisingly good burgers, perfect for a post-round debrief. The practice facilities are solid, too.

How far in advance should I book a tee time at Westwood, and what's the typical pace of play?

For weekend mornings or prime afternoon slots, we strongly advise booking at least two weeks out, especially during peak season. You can generally expect a comfortable 4-hour, 15-minute round here; the marshals do a good job of keeping things moving without feeling rushed. Weekday afternoons are usually more flexible.
