Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Leonard Golf Links, considering the weather and crowds?

We always recommend the shoulder seasons-late April through May or September into early October-to avoid the peak summer crowds and the harshest winds. You'll find the course in fantastic shape, and the temperatures are usually perfect for a full 18 holes.

What makes Leonard Golf Links unique compared to other US links courses, especially regarding its greens?

What truly sets Leonard apart are its wildly undulating, links-style greens; they demand precise approach shots and a creative short game you won't find elsewhere in the region. The subtle breaks and firm surfaces mean you'll often be putting from well off the green, making every hole a strategic puzzle.

What's the typical cost to play Leonard Golf Links, and do you have any tips for securing a tee time?

Expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically ranging from $250-350 during peak season, but we believe it's absolutely worth the investment for the experience. To secure your preferred tee time, especially on weekends, book at least 3-4 months in advance, or look for twilight rates for a slightly reduced cost.

Is Leonard Golf Links a walkable course, and do you recommend taking a caddie?

Leonard Golf Links is definitely a walking course, and we highly recommend taking a caddie, especially if it's your first time around. Their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on those complex greens and the best lines off the tee will save you strokes and enhance your entire round.

What's the must-do post-round experience at Leonard Golf Links, and are there any local tips for visitors?

After your round, you absolutely must grab a drink and a bite at The Linksman's Grill; their fish tacos are legendary, and the panoramic views of the 18th green and the coastline are unbeatable. We also suggest taking a few minutes to explore the small but fascinating historical display near the pro shop-it really adds to the course's unique story.
