Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Five Island Golf Course for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting Five Island in late September or early October. The fall foliage around the course is spectacular, the air is crisp, and you'll find the greens are still in peak condition without the summer rush. You'll get a more relaxed round and truly appreciate the scenery.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Five Island, and how should I approach it?

The 14th hole, a par-3 over water to a subtly sloped green, is Five Island's signature challenge. Your best bet is to take an extra club to clear the water and aim for the center of the green; don't get greedy trying to attack the pin. It's a beautiful hole, but it demands respect.

Is Five Island Golf Course worth the green fee, and what should I expect regarding costs?

Absolutely, Five Island offers excellent value for the experience. While not the cheapest round in the state, the course conditioning, unique island views, and thoughtful layout justify the cost. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a premium public course, and carts are typically included.

How busy does Five Island Golf Course get, and what's the typical pace of play like?

Five Island can get quite busy, especially on weekend mornings and during peak summer. To ensure a good pace of play, we suggest booking a tee time before 8 AM or after 2 PM on weekdays. You can generally expect a round to take around four hours, four and a half if it's packed.

After a round at Five Island, where do you recommend we grab a bite or relax nearby?

After you've tamed Five Island, head over to 'The Anchor & Iron' just a few miles down the road. It's a casual spot with fantastic local craft beers and surprisingly good pub fare, perfect for recounting your birdies and bogeys. Their fish tacos are a personal favorite after a long day on the links.
