Frequently Asked Questions

What's the true 'links' experience like at Sevillano, and how challenging is it for different handicaps?

Sevillano truly embraces its links identity with firm, fast fairways and greens that demand creativity around the putting surfaces. You'll need to master the bump-and-run and account for the ever-present wind, which adds a layer of challenge for all handicaps but especially rewards strategic play over brute force. It's a course where a well-placed shot is always more valuable than a long one.

When is the absolute best time of year to play Sevillano Links for ideal conditions?

We find late spring through early fall offers the most consistent weather, though the summer can bring a strong afternoon breeze that makes the course play even tougher-and more authentic to its links character. For a slightly quieter round and potentially better rates, consider a weekday morning in October when the air is crisp and the course is still in prime condition. Avoid mid-winter if you prefer firmer conditions.

Are there any specific holes at Sevillano Links that truly stand out or require a unique strategy?

Absolutely, the par-3 7th, 'The Gully,' is a standout, requiring a precise carry over a deep natural ravine to a tiered green-don't miss short. Then there's the long par-5 14th, 'The Serpent,' which snakes around a series of strategic bunkers, forcing you to choose between aggressive lines and safer layups on your second shot. Both demand careful thought.

Considering the green fees, what kind of value and amenities can I expect at Sevillano Links?

Sevillano offers excellent value for a true links experience in the region, with weekday green fees typically ranging from $75-$110, depending on the season and time of day. The practice facilities are solid, featuring a good driving range and putting green, and the clubhouse grill serves up a fantastic post-round burger that's well-deserved after battling the elements. It's a full-day experience without breaking the bank.

What's the most important piece of advice you'd give someone playing Sevillano Links for the first time?

Your short game will be tested here, so our top tip is to practice your low-trajectory chips and putts from off the green-you'll use them constantly to navigate the firm run-offs. Also, pay close attention to the subtle undulations on the greens; they often break more than they appear, especially with the wind influencing your ball.
