Kirtland Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get a tee time at Kirtland Country Club if I'm not a member?
Kirtland is a true private club, so you won't just book a tee time online. Your best bet is to find a member to host you- it's the only way to genuinely experience the course and the club's excellent hospitality. We highly recommend reaching out to your network; it's worth the effort.
What's the Kirtland course like to play- is it a real challenge?
You'll find Kirtland to be a classic parkland layout, deceptively challenging with its tree-lined fairways and subtle elevation changes. The greens are often the real test here- they're quick, undulating, and demand precise approach shots if you want to score well. Don't let the scenic beauty fool you; it's a proper golf test.
When is the best time of year to play Kirtland Country Club for optimal conditions?
For the absolute best conditions, we always recommend late spring or early fall at Kirtland. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and you avoid the peak summer humidity and crowds. Plus, the fall foliage around the course is simply stunning, adding to an already beautiful round.
Are there any signature holes or unique features at Kirtland I should look out for?
Absolutely, Kirtland has a few holes that really stick with you. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which plays over a ravine to a well-guarded green- it's a beauty and a beast. The finishing stretch, especially the par-5 18th, offers a dramatic close, often requiring a strategic lay-up or a bold carry over water to reach in two. It's a fantastic risk-reward finish.
What's the atmosphere like at Kirtland's clubhouse after a round?
The clubhouse at Kirtland is exactly what you'd hope for from a classic country club- welcoming and refined without being stuffy. You'll find a lively but relaxed atmosphere in the grill room, perfect for recounting your round over a cold drink and some excellent food. It's a great place to unwind and soak in the club's history and camaraderie.
