Persimmon Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Persimmon Country Club?

We highly recommend visiting Persimmon in the spring or fall for the most enjoyable experience. The summer heat can be quite intense, and while the course is always immaculately maintained, you'll appreciate the milder temperatures and stunning foliage during the shoulder seasons. Be sure to book your tee time well in advance, especially for weekend mornings.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Persimmon Country Club, and what makes it unique?

Persimmon truly tests your precision off the tee, particularly on the back nine where the fairways narrow significantly and demand strategic placement. You'll find the par-3 14th, with its dramatic downhill shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green, to be a memorable-and intimidating-signature hole. It's a beautiful beast that requires your full attention.

Is Persimmon Country Club open to the public, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Persimmon operates as a semi-private club, meaning public access is generally limited to specific times or through a member invitation. If you are fortunate enough to secure a tee time, expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically ranging from $175-275, reflecting the course's pristine conditioning and exclusive atmosphere. It's an investment in a truly exceptional golf experience.

Are caddies mandatory or recommended at Persimmon, and what's the cart policy?

While carts are available and often preferred due to some significant elevation changes across the property, we strongly recommend taking a caddie at Persimmon. Their invaluable local knowledge, especially regarding the subtle breaks on the greens and optimal lines off the tee, will undoubtedly enhance your round and save you strokes. It's a walking course at heart, if your legs are up for the challenge.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Persimmon Country Club after a round?

The clubhouse at Persimmon offers a classic, understated elegance that's perfect for unwinding after your round. We always make a point to grab a drink and a bite in the 'Oak Room,' which boasts fantastic views of the 18th green and serves a surprisingly delicious club sandwich. It's a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can comfortably recount your best-and worst-shots of the day.
