Three Pines Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Three Pines Country Club?

We've found late spring, specifically May, offers the ideal conditions at Three Pines. The course is lush, the greens are fast but receptive, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat that can make the back nine a real grind.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Three Pines, especially for a first-timer?

Without a doubt, it's navigating the subtle undulations on the greens. They look flat, but trust us, you'll be scratching your head if you don't pay close attention to the breaks, particularly on holes 7 and 14. A good caddie or a very keen eye is your best friend here.

Is Three Pines Country Club open to the public, and how far in advance should I book?

Three Pines is a private club, but they do offer limited guest play, usually through reciprocal agreements or if you're staying at a partner resort nearby. We recommend calling at least 4-6 weeks out to inquire about available guest times, especially if you're aiming for a weekend.

What's the must-play hole or a unique feature I shouldn't miss at Three Pines?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 12th hole. It plays over a dramatic ravine to a well-guarded green, and the views of the surrounding pine forests are simply stunning. It's a true risk-reward shot that will stick with you long after your round.

Is Three Pines a walkable course, and what's the typical pace of play?

While you can walk it, we honestly recommend taking a cart; the elevation changes, especially on the back nine, are more significant than they appear. Pace of play is generally excellent, usually around four hours, as the club does a great job managing tee times.
