Hawk's Point Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Hawk's Point for the average golfer, especially with its coastal winds?

Hawk's Point is a true test, particularly when the ocean breeze picks up in the afternoon. You'll find the back nine, especially holes 14 through 16, demand precise iron play to avoid the deep pot bunkers and keep your ball out of the fescue. Don't let the scenic views distract you from the strategic shot-making required.

When is the best time of year to play Hawk's Point for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall - think May-June or September-October. The temperatures are mild, the course is typically in pristine condition, and you'll often avoid the stronger winds and summer crowds. Winter can be a bit damp, and summer gets busy.

What's the one hole at Hawk's Point everyone talks about, and why?

Without a doubt, it's the par-3 17th, 'The Cliffhanger.' This hole plays downhill to a green perched precariously close to the ocean, often requiring a club less than you'd think due to the elevation drop and prevailing crosswind. It's a breathtaking view and an even more thrilling shot.

Is Hawk's Point worth the green fee, and what should I expect regarding costs?

Absolutely, Hawk's Point delivers a premium experience that justifies its price tag, which typically ranges from $150-$250 depending on the season and time of day. You're paying for immaculate conditions, a truly unique coastal layout, and a memorable round you won't soon forget. Consider an early morning tee time for slightly better rates.

Any specific tips for navigating Hawk's Point that a first-timer might miss?

Pay close attention to the local knowledge from your caddie or pro shop staff about the subtle breaks on the greens - they often funnel towards the ocean, even when they don't appear to. Also, bring an extra sleeve of balls; those fescue-lined fairways can be unforgiving if you stray even slightly off line.
