Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Maple Hills Golf Course for the ultimate experience?

You absolutely have to visit in early to mid-October. The course transforms with vibrant maple foliage, making those elevated tee shots on holes 7 and 14 truly breathtaking. Just be prepared for slightly cooler temperatures and book your tee time well in advance, as it's a popular season.

How challenging is Maple Hills, especially for a mid-handicapper like me?

Maple Hills is a fair test, but don't underestimate the back nine's elevation changes. Holes 12 through 15 demand precise club selection, particularly the downhill approach on 13 to a tucked green. We recommend walking it if you're up for the workout, as it helps you read the subtle breaks.

What's the one hole at Maple Hills that everyone talks about, and why?

Everyone raves about the par-3 7th hole, and for good reason. You're hitting from an elevated tee box over a ravine to a green guarded by mature maples, especially stunning in autumn. It's a true postcard moment, but don't let the view distract you from the tricky crosswind.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Maple Hills, and is it worth the price?

Greens fees at Maple Hills typically range from $75-$110, depending on the season and day of the week. We think it's excellent value for the conditioning and unique layout, especially considering the scenic beauty and the challenging but fair design. You're paying for a memorable experience, not just 18 holes.

Is Maple Hills known for slow play, and are there any local tips to make the round smoother?

While it can get busy on weekends, Maple Hills generally maintains a good pace. Our best tip is to play early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds, and always play from the appropriate tees. Also, don't be afraid to ask the pro shop about their "local knowledge" sheet - it's a lifesaver for navigating some of the blind shots.
