Longwood Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

We always recommend visiting Longwood in the late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in prime condition, with lush fairways in May and stunning foliage in October, making for a truly picturesque round. Avoid the peak summer heat; it can get a bit muggy, and the greens aren't quite as fast then.

The real test at Longwood comes on the back nine, particularly with the tricky, undulating greens from holes 12 through 15. We've seen many good rounds unravel there, so pay close attention to pin placements and trust your reads. Don't be afraid to play for the center of the green on those holes.

What are the typical green fees at Longwood, and is it worth the price?

Green fees at Longwood usually range from $75-$120, depending on the day and time you play. We absolutely think it's worth it for the consistently well-maintained conditions and the thoughtful course design. Book your tee time a couple of weeks in advance, especially for weekend mornings, to secure your spot.

Does Longwood Golf Course have any signature holes or unique features that make it stand out?

Absolutely, the par-3 17th hole is Longwood's crown jewel - it's a stunning downhill shot over a natural ravine to a well-bunkered green. You'll also notice the impressive mature oak trees lining many fairways, demanding precision off the tee and adding a classic feel to the entire round. It's a truly memorable finish.

How is the pace of play at Longwood, and what amenities should I plan to use?

Pace of play at Longwood is generally excellent; they do a good job of managing tee times, so you can usually expect a round in about four hours.
