Metcalf Ridge Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We highly recommend visiting Metcalf Ridge in early to mid-fall. The course truly shines with vibrant foliage across the surrounding hills, and the crisp air makes for incredibly comfortable rounds. You'll find the conditions are usually prime, and the views from the elevated tees are simply breathtaking during this season.

What's the signature hole at Metcalf Ridge, and what should I look out for?

Without a doubt, the 14th hole, affectionately known as 'The Eagle's Perch,' is Metcalf Ridge's showstopper. It's a challenging par-3 that plays significantly downhill to a green guarded by a deep bunker on the left and a steep drop-off to the right; trust us, club selection is everything here. Take a moment on the tee to soak in the panoramic views before you commit to your shot.

How challenging is Metcalf Ridge for an average golfer, and what's the pace of play like?

Metcalf Ridge offers a fair test for most golfers, but don't underestimate the elevation changes - they add a layer of strategy and can make some holes play longer than their yardage. We've found the pace of play to be quite reasonable, especially if you book a morning tee time; expect a solid four-hour round, which is perfect for enjoying the course without feeling rushed.

What kind of value can I expect from the green fees at Metcalf Ridge?

You'll find Metcalf Ridge offers excellent value for the quality of golf and the stunning scenery. Green fees are mid-range, and they typically include a cart, which you'll definitely appreciate given the course's natural contours. It feels like a private club experience without the hefty price tag, making it a smart choice for a memorable round.

Are there good dining options or amenities at Metcalf Ridge after a round?

Absolutely, the 'Ridgeview Grill' in the clubhouse is a fantastic spot to unwind after your round. They serve up hearty American fare and have a great selection of local craft beers, all with an incredible view overlooking the 18th green and the valley beyond. It's the perfect place to recount your best shots and maybe forget about the ones you'd rather not mention.
