Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to experience Maplewood Golf Course?

We always recommend visiting Maplewood in early fall, typically late September through mid-October. The maple trees that give the course its name explode with color, making for truly stunning backdrops on every hole, especially around the 7th and 14th. You'll find the fairways firm and fast, and the air crisp - perfect for a memorable round.

What's the one hole at Maplewood Golf Course that every golfer talks about?

Without a doubt, it's the par-3 12th hole, "The Gorge." You're hitting from an elevated tee across a deep ravine to a well-guarded green, often with a swirling crosswind. It's a true test of nerve and club selection, and a par here feels like a birdie.

I'm planning a trip with golfers of varying skill levels - how accommodating is Maplewood Golf Course?

Maplewood is surprisingly versatile; it truly offers something for everyone. From the forward tees, the course is quite playable for higher handicappers, but move back to the tips and you'll find a legitimate challenge with tight landing areas and demanding approach shots. We suggest playing from the appropriate tees to maximize your enjoyment, as the course rewards smart play over brute force.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Maplewood, and are there any tips for saving money?

Green fees at Maplewood generally range from $50-$80, depending on the day and time, with weekend mornings being the priciest. Your best bet for a deal is to book online directly through their website a few weeks in advance, as they often post discounted twilight rates or early bird specials. We've found that playing a weekday afternoon offers excellent value and a more relaxed pace.

After my round at Maplewood, what's worth checking out at the clubhouse or nearby?

Make sure to grab a bite at "The Taproom" in the clubhouse; their Maplewood Burger is legendary, and the patio offers fantastic views of the 18th green. If you have time, the small pro shop has some unique local golf apparel you won't find anywhere else, perfect for a souvenir.
