Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a tee time at Highfield Club if I'm not a member?

This is a private club, so direct public bookings aren't an option. Your best bet is to know a member who can invite you as their guest, or inquire about reciprocal play if your home club has an arrangement. We've found that sometimes a well-placed call to the pro shop, explaining you're visiting the area and keen to experience the course, can occasionally open a door for a limited number of unaccompanied guest slots, but don't count on it.

What's the most memorable or challenging aspect of playing Highfield Club?

Without a doubt, it's the subtle yet demanding greens. They aren't overly dramatic, but their contours and speed will test your short game and putting touch like few others. We always tell people to spend extra time on the practice green before your round; it will pay dividends.

When is the best time of year to play Highfield Club for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). The weather is typically perfect for golf, the course is in peak condition, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and humidity. You'll find the fescue rough is particularly penal in late summer, so aim for those shoulder seasons.

What's the typical pace of play and overall atmosphere like at Highfield Club?

Highfield prides itself on a brisk pace of play, often under four hours, especially during off-peak times. The atmosphere is traditional and respectful of the game's heritage, but still welcoming. You'll find members are generally friendly, and the staff ensures a smooth, enjoyable experience from arrival to your post-round drink.

What should I expect for the post-round experience at Highfield Club?

Don't rush off after your round; the clubhouse patio offers fantastic views of the 18th green and is the perfect spot for a casual drink or meal. Their classic club sandwich is a personal favorite, and it's a great place to soak in the club's history and discuss your shots. It's an integral part of the Highfield experience.
