Plandome Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

As a non-member, what's the best way to get a tee time at Plandome Country Club?

Plandome is a private club, so you'll need a member invitation to play. We highly recommend reaching out to any connections you might have; it's truly the only reliable way to experience this gem. Don't expect to just call up for a public tee time - that's not how it works here.

What kind of challenge does Plandome's course present, and what should I focus on to score well?

Plandome demands precision, especially off the tee. You'll find the fairways are often tighter than they appear, and the greens have subtle breaks that can really frustrate if you're not paying attention. Focus on course management and a solid short game; that's where you'll shave strokes.

When is the ideal time of year to play Plandome Country Club for the best conditions and experience?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Plandome. The course is lush and vibrant in May and June, and the cooler, crisp air of September and October makes for perfect playing weather. Avoid the peak summer heat if you can, as it can get quite humid.

Are there any specific holes at Plandome Country Club that are particularly memorable or challenging?

Absolutely, the par-3 7th hole over the pond is a real beauty and a test of nerve, demanding a precise carry. Then there's the dogleg left 14th, a par-5 where a well-placed drive can set up a real chance at birdie, but a miss will cost you dearly. These two really stick with us.

What's the typical pace of play like at Plandome, and what's the overall atmosphere of the club?

You'll generally find a good pace of play at Plandome, especially during weekday mornings. The atmosphere is classic country club - refined but welcoming, with a strong sense of community among members. It's a place where you can relax and enjoy your round without feeling rushed.
