Scenic Knolls Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to experience the "scenic" views at Scenic Knolls?

You absolutely want to visit in early fall, typically late September through mid-October. The foliage bursts into vibrant reds and golds, making the elevated tee shots on holes 7 and 14 truly breathtaking. We found the crisp air also makes for ideal playing conditions without the summer humidity.

How challenging are the elevation changes at Scenic Knolls, and what should I expect?

The "Knolls" in the name isn't just for show - you'll encounter significant elevation shifts, especially on the back nine. We recommend taking a cart to conserve energy, but be prepared for some tricky uphill approaches and downhill putts that demand precise club selection. Pay close attention to your yardage book here.

Is Scenic Knolls an expensive course to play, and what's included in the green fee?

While not a budget course, we think Scenic Knolls offers excellent value for the experience. Green fees typically range from $80-$120, depending on the day and time, and that usually includes a cart. You're paying for pristine conditions and those unforgettable views, which is a fair trade in our book.

What's the signature hole at Scenic Knolls, and what makes it so memorable?

Hole 12, a par-3, is undeniably the course's showstopper. You're hitting from an elevated tee box over a deep ravine to a green guarded by a natural rock outcropping on the left. It's a true test of nerve and accuracy, and the panoramic views from the tee are worth the trip alone.

What's one practical tip for scoring well at Scenic Knolls that most golfers overlook?

Don't underestimate the impact of the prevailing winds, especially on the exposed higher knolls. We consistently found ourselves needing an extra club or two on certain holes, particularly 7, 12, and 14. Always check the flag and feel the breeze before committing to your shot.
