Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club for the average golfer?

Cleghorn isn't your flat, easy stroll; it's a true mountain course that will test your shot-making. You'll face significant elevation changes on nearly every hole, demanding precise club selection and a keen eye for uneven lies. We found the back nine, especially the par-3 14th with its dramatic downhill shot, to be a real mental and physical test.

When is the best time of year to experience Cleghorn's course and views?

For the absolute best experience, we highly recommend visiting Cleghorn in early to mid-October. The fall foliage here is simply spectacular, painting the surrounding mountains in vibrant reds and golds, which perfectly frames your shots. Plus, the cooler temperatures make those uphill climbs much more enjoyable than in the summer heat.

Is Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club a good value, and what should I expect for greens fees?

We think Cleghorn offers excellent value, especially considering the unique mountain layout and well-maintained conditions. You'll typically find greens fees ranging from $60-$90, depending on the season and time of day, which is very competitive for a course of this caliber in the region. That usually includes your cart, which you'll definitely appreciate on this hilly terrain.

What are the must-play holes or unique features that make Cleghorn stand out?

You absolutely can't miss the stretch from holes 7 through 9; it's a masterclass in mountain golf design. The par-5 7th offers a breathtaking panoramic view from the tee, while the par-3 8th demands a precise carry over a deep ravine. We also love the finishing hole, a challenging uphill par-4 that truly earns your post-round beverage.

What amenities or activities does Cleghorn offer besides the golf course?

Cleghorn isn't just about the golf; it's a full sports club with a welcoming atmosphere. You'll find well-maintained tennis courts and a refreshing swimming pool, perfect for cooling off after your round. Their clubhouse grill serves up solid post-game fare, and we always enjoy grabbing a drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green.
