Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Binks Forest, and are there any holes I should really look out for?

Binks Forest offers a fair test, but it's the water that really keeps you honest here-it's in play on nearly every hole. We particularly love the par-3 17th, where you're hitting over water to a well-guarded green; it's a beautiful, nerve-wracking finish. You'll need to think your way around, especially with your approach shots.

When's the best time of year to play Binks Forest for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend visiting Binks Forest in late fall or early spring to catch the course at its absolute best, right after overseeding and before the summer heat. You'll find the fairways lush and greens rolling true, plus the crowds are usually lighter than during peak winter season. Avoid mid-summer if you can, as the heat and humidity can be intense.

How does the value at Binks Forest stack up against other courses in the area? What should I expect to pay?

Binks Forest consistently delivers excellent value, especially compared to some of the pricier resort courses nearby. You're getting a well-maintained, enjoyable round for a very reasonable green fee, typically ranging from $60-100 depending on the season and time of day. It's a solid choice if you're looking for quality golf without breaking the bank.

Are the practice facilities at Binks Forest good enough for a proper warm-up before my round?

Absolutely, Binks Forest has solid practice facilities that are perfect for getting ready. You'll find a decent driving range with plenty of targets, plus a dedicated chipping green and a large putting green that accurately reflects the speed of the course greens. We always arrive a bit early to take advantage of them-it makes a difference.

What's the typical pace of play at Binks Forest, and do they do a good job of managing it?

We've generally found the pace of play at Binks Forest to be quite reasonable, usually around four hours or slightly more on busy weekend mornings. The course marshals do a good job of keeping things moving, but we always advise playing ready golf and choosing the right tees for your skill level. It helps everyone enjoy their round more.
