Maples

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Maples?

We think late spring or early fall is absolutely ideal for Maples. You'll avoid the summer humidity and enjoy comfortable temperatures, plus the course truly shines with vibrant foliage in October. Book your tee time well in advance for those peak fall weeks, as it gets busy.

How challenging is Maples for an average golfer?

Maples offers a fair test, but it's certainly not a walk in the park. The tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, and the subtle breaks on the greens can be tricky to read. We recommend playing a set of tees that matches your handicap to truly enjoy the round.

What's the standout feature or signature hole at Maples?

For us, the par-3 14th hole is unforgettable; it plays downhill over a ravine to a well-bunkered green, often with a swirling wind. It's a beautiful, intimidating shot that truly captures the course's character. You'll want to take an extra moment on that tee box.

What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value at Maples?

Maples sits in the mid-to-upper range for green fees, reflecting its excellent conditioning and classic design. While it's not a budget option, we find the experience well worth the investment, especially if you catch one of their twilight rates. Check their website for current pricing and any stay-and-play packages.

Is Maples a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While you can walk Maples, we generally recommend taking a cart, especially during warmer months. There are a few significant elevation changes between holes, and the distances from green to tee can be a bit spread out. Save your energy for your swing.
