The National Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I secure a tee time at The National Golf Club?

This isn't a course you can just book online; The National is a private club, so you'll need to play as a guest of a member. We recommend reaching out to your network well in advance, as guest spots are limited and highly sought after, especially during peak season.

What makes The National's course design stand out from other championship courses?

You'll immediately notice the dramatic elevation changes and the strategic bunkering that demands precision on every shot. The par-3 17th, with its island green, is a true test of nerve and easily one of the most memorable holes you'll ever play.

When is the ideal time of year to play The National Golf Club?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall for the best conditions - think May-June or September-October. The weather is usually perfect for golf, and the course is meticulously maintained, offering firm and fast greens that truly shine.

Beyond the golf, what kind of experience should I expect at The National?

The National offers a truly refined experience, from the moment you arrive. Expect top-tier caddie services, a fantastic practice facility, and a clubhouse with exceptional dining options perfect for unwinding after your round. It's an all-encompassing luxury golf day.

Is playing at The National Golf Club worth the premium cost?

Absolutely, if you appreciate a world-class golf experience and impeccable service. While guest fees are substantial, you're paying for a meticulously maintained course, an exclusive atmosphere, and a day of golf that few places can rival in the United States.
