Cottonwood Links

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Cottonwood Links for optimal conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Cottonwood Links. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and you avoid the intense summer heat that can make the back nine a real slog. Plus, the cottonwood trees are either in full bloom or showing off their autumn colors, adding to the scenery.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Cottonwood Links?

You'll quickly discover that the wind is your biggest adversary here, especially on the exposed back nine. Those wide-open fairways might look inviting, but a strong crosswind can turn a routine approach shot into a real test of your short game. Don't forget to factor it in, or you'll be searching for balls in the cottonwood groves.

Is there a signature hole or a particularly memorable stretch at Cottonwood Links?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th hole is Cottonwood's postcard moment. It plays over a natural creek bed to a well-guarded green, with towering cottonwoods framing the backdrop. It's a beautiful, challenging shot that demands precision, and it's one you'll definitely want to photograph.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Cottonwood Links, and is it good value?

Green fees at Cottonwood Links are generally mid-range, offering excellent value for the quality of play. You're looking at around $60-$90 for 18 holes, depending on the day and time, which is a steal for a course this well-maintained and enjoyable. We think it's money well spent for a solid day of golf.

What's the post-round experience like at Cottonwood Links?

After your round, head straight to the casual grill room - it's nothing fancy, but the burgers are surprisingly good and the beer is always cold. It's a friendly, no-frills spot where you can recap your birdies and bogeys with fellow golfers, and the staff always makes you feel welcome. It's a great place to unwind.
