Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Capital City Golf Club, and how should I prepare?

The back nine at Capital City is where the course truly shows its teeth, especially 'The Gauntlet' - holes 14 through 16. These holes demand precise iron play and a cool head, particularly with the prevailing crosswinds that can make club selection tricky. We recommend a solid warm-up on the range to dial in your mid-irons.

When's the best time of year to play Capital City for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend late April to early June or mid-September through October. The bentgrass greens are at their purest then, offering true rolls, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity and larger crowds. Booking your tee time at least two weeks in advance during these windows is a smart move.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Capital City Golf Club, and is it worth it?

Expect to pay around $120-$180 for a prime weekend tee time, with weekday mornings slightly less. Twilight rates offer a great value if you don't mind a quicker pace. Given the immaculate conditioning, the challenging layout, and the overall experience, we think it's absolutely worth the investment for a memorable round.

Beyond the golf, what makes Capital City Golf Club stand out?

Don't miss the historic clubhouse, which dates back to the 1920s and offers fantastic views of the 18th green. Their 'Capital Burger' at the 19th hole is a local legend and the perfect way to cap off your round. The practice facilities, especially the short game area, are also top-notch.

Any insider tips for playing Capital City Golf Club, especially for first-timers?

Definitely walk this course if you can - it's a classic design meant to be experienced on foot, and the caddies here are incredibly knowledgeable. Also, pay close attention to the pin positions on the par-3 7th; it plays much tougher than it looks, often requiring an extra club.
