What makes the "Sunken Gardens" aspect of the course unique?
The name truly reflects the course's charm-you'll play several holes nestled in natural depressions, surrounded by vibrant, meticulously kept floral displays. It creates a beautiful, almost secluded feel on certain holes, making for a truly picturesque round. Don't be surprised if you pause just to take in the scenery.
When's the best time to play a round at Sunken Gardens Golf Course?
We always recommend an early morning tee time, especially during the warmer months, to beat both the heat and the crowds. The course is beautifully quiet then, and you'll often have a clear run. Late afternoons are also lovely for a twilight round, offering softer light and a relaxed pace.

What should I know about green fees and getting a tee time at Sunken Gardens?
Green fees here are very reasonable, offering excellent value for the quality of the course. While you can often walk on during off-peak hours, we always advise booking a tee time online a few days in advance, especially for weekend mornings. Club rentals are available if you're traveling light.
