Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Exeter Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Exeter in late spring-early summer (May-June) or during the crisp autumn months (September-October). You'll find the course in its prime, with lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens, plus the fall foliage around the back nine is truly spectacular. Avoid the peak summer heat for the most comfortable round.

How challenging is Exeter Golf Course, and are there any must-play holes?

Exeter offers a fair test for golfers of all skill levels, but don't let its seemingly gentle opening fool you-the back nine tightens up considerably. The par-3 7th, with its elevated tee shot over a deep ravine, is a real nerve-tester, and the dogleg 15th demands precise club selection to avoid the hidden water hazard. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute force.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Exeter, and is it worth it?

Green fees at Exeter are quite reasonable for the quality of the course, typically ranging from $65-$95 depending on the day and time you play. We definitely think it's worth it for the well-maintained conditions and enjoyable layout. Booking online a few days in advance is always a good idea, especially for weekend mornings.

Does Exeter Golf Course have any unique amenities or features I should know about?

Beyond the excellent course, Exeter boasts a surprisingly robust short game practice area, perfect for dialing in your wedges before your round. Their '19th Hole' grill also serves up some fantastic local craft beers and a surprisingly good burger-it's a great spot to unwind and discuss your round. You'll appreciate the relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

What's one practical tip for playing Exeter Golf Course that only a local would know?

Pay close attention to the subtle breaks on Exeter's greens-they often funnel towards the nearby creek, even when they appear flat. Also, consider renting one of their push carts instead of a power cart; the course is very walkable, and you'll get a better feel for the subtle elevation changes and enjoy the scenery more. It's a great way to experience the course.
