Driftwood Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Driftwood Golf Course for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons-late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October). You'll dodge the summer humidity and peak tourist rush, enjoying comfortable temperatures and a more relaxed pace on the fairways. The course truly shines when those coastal breezes are gentle.

What's the one hole at Driftwood Golf Course that I absolutely need to prepare for, or that truly defines the course?

Keep a sharp eye out for the par-3 14th, affectionately known as "The Shingle." It's a deceptively short hole where the prevailing crosswind off the water can turn a simple wedge into a real test of nerve and club selection. Don't let the yardage fool you-precision is everything here.

Given its layout, is Driftwood Golf Course a good course for walking, or is a golf cart essential?

While the course isn't overly hilly, there are some significant distances between greens and tees, especially on the back nine. We strongly recommend taking a cart to conserve your energy, allowing you to fully appreciate the views and focus on your game without feeling rushed. You'll thank us after the 12th hole.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Driftwood Golf Course, and does the value match the experience?

Green fees typically range from $120-$180, depending on the season and time of day, including a cart. We firmly believe it's a fair price for the quality of the course conditions and the unique coastal challenge you'll encounter. It's an investment in a memorable round, not just 18 holes.

After finishing my round at Driftwood, what's the best way to unwind, and are there any local spots you recommend nearby?

Head straight to "The Anchor Bar" in the clubhouse; their fish tacos are legendary and pair perfectly with a cold local brew while overlooking the 18th green. If you're looking to explore further, the charming coastal town just five minutes away offers great seafood restaurants and unique artisan shops.
