Cattails Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Cattails Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We've found late spring, specifically May and early June, offers the perfect balance at Cattails. The course is lush, the greens are firm but receptive, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity and the biting insects that can emerge around the marshier holes later in the season. Plus, the early morning fog lifting off the wetlands adds a beautiful, dramatic touch to your round.

How challenging is Cattails, and what should I expect from its layout?

Cattails is a deceptively challenging course, especially if you're not used to playing around natural wetlands. The course demands precision off the tee, as errant shots often find the namesake cattails or the numerous water hazards. You'll need to think your way around, particularly on the back nine where the wind off the adjacent lake can really come into play.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at Cattails I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th hole-it's a stunner and a real test. You're hitting over a significant marshland carry to a green protected by bunkers, with the lake breeze often swirling. It's a beautiful, intimidating shot that truly embodies the course's character and will stick with you long after your round.

What's the typical pace of play like at Cattails, and should I book a tee time far in advance?

Pace of play at Cattails is generally good, especially on weekdays, but it can slow down on weekend mornings due to its popularity with local groups. We always recommend booking your tee time at least a week in advance for weekend play, and a few days out for weekdays, just to be safe. An early morning start is your best bet for a quicker round.

What's the overall value like at Cattails, and are there any deals or packages worth considering?

We consider Cattails to be excellent value for the experience you get-it's a well-maintained course with unique challenges that feels more expensive than it is. They often run twilight rates after 3 PM, which is a fantastic deal if you don't mind a slightly rushed finish. Keep an eye on their website for seasonal stay-and-play packages if you're planning an overnight trip, as those can offer significant savings.
