Barrington Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Barrington Golf Club open to the public, or is it a private course?

Barrington is a truly exclusive, private club, so you won't be able to just book a tee time. Your best bet is to secure an invitation from a member or explore potential reciprocal arrangements if your home club has them; it's an experience well worth the networking effort.

What's the signature challenge or a must-play hole at Barrington?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th – it plays downhill over a natural ravine to a green guarded by mature oaks. It's a true test of nerve and club selection, and a fantastic photo opportunity after you (hopefully) stick it close.

When is the best time of year to experience Barrington Golf Club at its prime?

We always recommend visiting Barrington in early fall, typically late September through October. The course conditions are immaculate, the humidity has dropped, and the vibrant autumn foliage provides a stunning backdrop to every shot you take.

What can I expect from the clubhouse and dining experience at Barrington?

The clubhouse at Barrington is understated elegance, offering a fantastic post-round meal with views of the 18th green. Don't skip the practice facilities either; their short game area is one of the best we've seen, perfect for honing those crucial wedges.

Is Barrington Golf Club worth the effort to play, and what's the overall vibe?

Barrington delivers a classic, unpretentious golf experience where the focus is squarely on the game and impeccable service. You'll find a challenging but fair layout, pristine conditions, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every round feel special – it absolutely lives up to its reputation.
