Raccoon Hill Golf Club
Frequently Asked Questions
When's the best time of year to play Raccoon Hill Golf Club?
We highly recommend visiting Raccoon Hill in the spring or fall for the best experience. Summers can get quite humid, and while the course holds up well, you'll appreciate the cooler air and vibrant foliage more in the shoulder seasons. Aim for a weekday morning to really enjoy the tranquility and avoid any crowds.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Raccoon Hill?
Don't let the name fool you - the biggest challenge here is definitely the undulating greens. They're quick and notoriously tricky to read, so bring your best short game and be prepared to spend some time deciphering breaks. We've seen many a good round unravel on the putting surface.
Is Raccoon Hill Golf Club good value for money?
Absolutely, it's one of the best bangs for your buck in the region, hands down. You're getting a well-maintained, engaging layout without the premium price tag of some of its flashier neighbors. Expect to pay around $50-70 for a round with a cart, which is a steal for this quality.
Which hole at Raccoon Hill should I be most excited - or wary - of?
Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a real beauty and a beast. With a forced carry over a ravine to a two-tiered green, it demands precision and nerve from the tee. It's definitely the course's postcard moment, but it can also wreck your score if you're not careful.
What's the overall vibe and pace of play like at Raccoon Hill?
Raccoon Hill has a wonderfully relaxed, community feel, which translates to a generally pleasant pace of play. While weekends can get busy, the staff does a great job of keeping things moving, so you rarely feel rushed. Don't expect a lavish clubhouse, but the grill room serves up a fantastic burger post-round.
