Somerset Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Somerset Country Club if I'm not a member?
Somerset Country Club is a private course, so you'll typically need to be invited by a member to play a round. We recommend reaching out to a current member or checking for any charity events they might host that open up tee times to non-members. It's truly worth the effort to experience this track.
What's the signature challenge or 'must-play' hole at Somerset Country Club?
You absolutely have to brace yourself for the par-4 14th hole - 'The Ridge.' This dogleg right demands a precise tee shot over a deep ravine, followed by an uphill approach to a severely sloped green. It's a true test of nerve and accuracy, and easily one of the most memorable holes you'll encounter here.
When is the best time of year to experience Somerset Country Club at its prime?
We find late spring, typically May, or early fall, around September and October, offers the best conditions at Somerset. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and the cooler temperatures make for incredibly comfortable rounds. Avoid mid-summer if you're not a fan of humidity.
What's the overall vibe and experience like at Somerset Country Club, beyond just the course?
The atmosphere at Somerset is classic country club - refined but welcoming, with a strong sense of community. You'll find excellent dining options in the clubhouse, perfect for post-round drinks or a full meal. It's a place where tradition meets modern comfort, making for a truly enjoyable day out.
How busy does Somerset Country Club get, and what's the pace of play usually like?
Given its private nature, Somerset generally maintains an excellent pace of play, especially on weekdays. Weekends can be a bit busier, but the club does a good job managing tee times to prevent bottlenecks. You can usually expect a round to take around four hours, which is a real luxury.
