Fountain Springs Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We always recommend visiting Fountain Springs in late spring or early summer. That's when the course truly comes alive, with the natural springs at their most vibrant and the surrounding flora in full bloom. You'll find the conditions pristine and the weather generally ideal for a memorable round.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Fountain Springs, beyond just the water?

While the namesake springs certainly demand respect, the real test at Fountain Springs lies in its subtly undulating greens. They're often faster than they look and feature tricky breaks that can frustrate even seasoned putters. Pay close attention to your approach shots; getting above the hole here is a recipe for three-putts.

Which hole at Fountain Springs should I absolutely not miss, and why?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th, known as "The Grotto." It plays over a dramatic natural spring-fed ravine to a green guarded by ancient oaks and a cascading waterfall. It's a stunning, challenging shot that perfectly encapsulates the course's unique beauty and demands your best iron play.

Is Fountain Springs a good value for the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

We consider Fountain Springs an excellent value, especially given the course's unique character and superb conditioning. Green fees typically range from $75-$120, depending on the day and time you play. It's a premium experience without the premium price tag you might expect for such a picturesque layout.

What's the vibe like at the clubhouse after a round at Fountain Springs?

The clubhouse at Fountain Springs offers a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after your game. We love grabbing a drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green, where you can watch others finish their rounds while enjoying some excellent local craft beers. It's unpretentious and genuinely welcoming.
