Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play North Golf Course?

We always recommend visiting North Golf Course in late spring or early fall. The weather is perfect for walking, and the course conditions are at their absolute peak, especially when the dogwoods are blooming or the maples are turning. You'll avoid the humid summer heat and the unpredictable winter closures.

What's the most challenging aspect of playing North Golf Course?

Without a doubt, the greens at North Golf Course are what will test your game the most. They are notoriously undulating and fast, often with subtle breaks you won't spot on your first read. Pay close attention during your practice putts, and don't be afraid to play for more break than you think.

Is North Golf Course a good value for its green fees?

While North Golf Course isn't the cheapest round in the region, we firmly believe it offers excellent value. The meticulous course conditioning, the challenging yet fair layout, and the stunning views from holes 7 and 14 make it a memorable experience that justifies the price. You're paying for a truly premium public course experience here.

What's the typical pace of play like at North Golf Course, and are carts required?

Pace of play at North Golf Course is generally quite good, especially on weekdays, but weekends can get a bit backed up, so book an early tee time if you can. Carts are available and often recommended due to some significant elevation changes, but we love walking it for the full experience if you're up for the workout.

Are there any specific strategies for navigating the infamous "Valley of Shadows" stretch on the back nine?

The "Valley of Shadows" - holes 13 through 15 - is where many rounds go sideways at North Golf Course. You'll encounter tight, tree-lined fairways and a tricky cross-wind that often isn't felt on the tee box. We recommend playing conservatively off the tee with a hybrid or long iron to ensure you stay in play, even if it means sacrificing some distance.
