Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play The Links at Davy Crockett?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall - think April-May or September-October. The fescue is vibrant, the greens are running pure, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat that can make the back nine feel like a true wilderness trek. Plus, the prevailing winds are usually more manageable then, which is a huge factor here.

How challenging is The Links at Davy Crockett for an average golfer?

This course offers a genuine links challenge, so don't expect a walk in the park. The wide fairways can be deceiving; errant shots often find the deep fescue or strategically placed pot bunkers. We suggest playing a tee box forward from your usual to truly enjoy the strategic shot-making required, especially when the wind picks up.

What's the signature hole or a unique feature at Davy Crockett we should be prepared for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th, affectionately known as 'The Alamo.' It's a short but intimidating shot over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green, often playing directly into the wind. You'll need precise club selection and a steady nerve to avoid a big number here - it's a true test of your short iron game.

What are the typical green fees, and is The Links at Davy Crockett good value?

Green fees generally range from $75-$120, depending on the season and time of day, with twilight rates offering a bit of a discount. We absolutely think it's worth it; you're getting a meticulously maintained, authentic links experience without the exorbitant prices of some coastal courses. It's a fantastic value for the quality and unique challenge.

What's the clubhouse or post-round experience like at Davy Crockett?

The clubhouse is cozy and unpretentious, with a great patio overlooking the 18th green - perfect for reliving your round. Don't miss the 'Frontier Grill' for a surprisingly good burger and a cold local brew. It's the ideal spot to relax and soak in the rustic charm after battling the elements on the course.
