Vermilion Oaks Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time of year to experience Vermilion Oaks' course conditions?
We've found late spring, specifically April and May, offers the perfect blend of lush fairways and comfortable temperatures before the summer heat truly sets in. You'll avoid the heavier humidity and still enjoy the vibrant course conditions, making for a truly memorable round.
What's the most unique challenge or signature hole we should look out for at Vermilion Oaks?
Without a doubt, the par-4 14th hole, affectionately known as "The Sentinel," is Vermilion Oaks' defining moment. Its narrow approach, guarded by a massive, ancient live oak on the left and a tricky bunker on the right, demands precision you won't soon forget.
What's the typical green fee range at Vermilion Oaks, and is it worth the investment for a non-member?
Expect non-member green fees to hover around $150-200, depending on the season and time of day you play. We firmly believe it's a worthwhile splurge for the immaculate conditions and the unique Southern charm you'll experience, especially if you appreciate a course with history and character.
Besides the golf course, what other amenities or experiences does Vermilion Oaks offer that we shouldn't miss?
After your round, make a point to visit The Acorn Grill in the clubhouse; their shrimp and grits are legendary and a perfect way to cap off the day. The pro shop also carries some fantastic local artisan golf apparel you won't find anywhere else, making for a great souvenir.
How far in advance do we need to book a tee time at Vermilion Oaks, especially as a non-member?
For non-members, we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks out, particularly if you're aiming for a weekend morning slot. They do hold some limited public times, but those fill up quickly, so plan ahead to secure your preferred tee time and avoid disappointment.
