Larchmont Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Larchmont Golf Course to avoid the crowds?

We always recommend hitting Larchmont during the shoulder seasons, specifically late April to early June or mid-September through October. You'll find the course in prime condition, and the pace of play is far more relaxed than the bustling summer weekends. Plus, the fall foliage around the back nine is genuinely stunning.

What's the most memorable hole at Larchmont, and what should I watch out for?

For us, the par-4 14th hole is Larchmont's true test and highlight. It's a sharp dogleg left with a creek guarding the approach, demanding a precise tee shot to set up a clear look at the green. Don't get greedy off the tee; a long iron or hybrid is often your best friend here.

Are the greens at Larchmont fast, and what's their general condition?

You'll find Larchmont's greens are consistently well-maintained, rolling at a medium-fast pace, especially in the mornings. They aren't overly complex with severe undulations, but subtle breaks can certainly trick you. Pay attention to the grain, particularly on the front nine.

Is Larchmont Golf Course suitable for a higher-handicap golfer, or is it too challenging?

Larchmont is surprisingly accommodating for all skill levels, which we appreciate. While there are certainly challenging holes like the 14th, wide fairways on many holes offer a forgiving landing area for errant drives. Just pick the right tees, and you'll have a fantastic, enjoyable round.

What's the best way to secure a tee time at Larchmont, and can you walk on?

We strongly advise booking your tee time online at least a week in advance, especially for weekend play; Larchmont gets busy. While walk-ons are sometimes possible during quieter weekday afternoons, don't count on it if you're on a tight schedule. Plan ahead to guarantee your spot.
