Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Tesero Golf Club, and what should I expect from the conditions?

We always recommend late spring, typically May or early June, for Tesero. The course is lush, the mountain views are crystal clear, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity that can make the back nine a real slog. Expect firm, fast greens that demand precision, especially in the morning.

What's the most challenging or memorable hole at Tesero, and what's your best advice for playing it?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th is Tesero's signature, playing significantly downhill to a green guarded by a creek in front and bunkers behind. Your best bet is to take one less club than you think and aim for the front-left portion of the green; anything right or long is a guaranteed bogey, or worse. It's a beautiful, intimidating shot.

How much does a round at Tesero typically cost, and is it hard to get a tee time, especially on weekends?

A prime weekend tee time at Tesero will usually run you between $120-$160, including a cart, which we highly recommend given the elevation changes. It's a popular track, so you absolutely need to book at least two to three weeks in advance for weekend mornings; weekday afternoons are a bit more forgiving. The value is there for the quality of the course.

Beyond the golf itself, what's a unique aspect of the Tesero experience that first-timers often miss?

Many first-timers rush off, but you'd be missing out if you didn't grab a post-round drink on the clubhouse patio. The views of the 18th green and the surrounding valley are spectacular, especially at sunset. It's the perfect spot to dissect your round and soak in the atmosphere, a true highlight of the Tesero experience.

Tesero looks like a popular spot - how's the pace of play, and do you have any local tips for a smoother round?

Pace of play at Tesero is generally well-managed, but it can slow down on busy weekend mornings, so expect a four-and-a-half-hour round. Our top tip is to consider walking the course if you're fit; it often helps you stay focused and keeps you moving, plus you'll appreciate the subtle elevation changes more. Always play ready golf, especially on the longer par-4s.
