Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Championship Course?

We always recommend spring, specifically April and May, for the Championship Course. The azaleas are in bloom, the fairways are lush, and the temperatures are perfectly mild, making for an unforgettable round without the oppressive summer humidity. You'll avoid the peak crowds and enjoy pristine conditions.

What's the most memorable or challenging aspect of Championship Course?

Without a doubt, it's the stretch from holes 14 through 16, known locally as "The Gauntlet." The par-3 15th, with its island green surrounded by marshland, demands absolute precision and has ruined many a good scorecard. You'll need to bring your A-game and a few extra balls for this one.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Championship Course, and are there any hidden costs?

Green fees typically range from $250-$350, depending on the season and time of day, which is standard for a course of this caliber. We strongly advise taking a caddie-they're mandatory before noon anyway-as their local knowledge is invaluable on these tricky greens and will save you strokes.

Can I walk Championship Course, or is a golf cart necessary?

While the course is relatively flat on the front nine, the back nine features some significant elevation changes, especially around the 12th and 13th holes. We recommend taking a cart unless you're an avid walker and want the extra workout; it will help you conserve energy for those crucial finishing holes.

What's there to do around Championship Course after my round?

After your game, head into the nearby historic town of Willow Creek, just a 10-minute drive away. We love the local craft breweries and the charming Main Street shops, perfect for unwinding and grabbing a great meal. Don't miss the smoked brisket at "The Divot Diner" for a true local flavor.
