Crooked Lake Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Crooked Lake itself influence play, and what should I watch out for?

The lake is a constant presence here, especially on the back nine where it really comes into play on holes 12 through 15. You'll need to be precise with your iron shots to avoid a watery grave, particularly on the par-3 13th which demands a carry over a significant inlet. Don't let the stunning views distract you from the challenge.

Is Crooked Lake Golf Club a good fit for high-handicappers, or is it more for experienced players?

While it presents a fair challenge, Crooked Lake is surprisingly playable for a wide range of golfers, even high-handicappers. The fairways are generally generous, but the real test comes around the greens and with those lake-adjacent holes. We recommend playing from a forward tee if you're looking for a more relaxed round.

When is the best time of year to experience Crooked Lake Golf Club at its peak?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall - think May-June or September-October. The weather is usually perfect, the course conditions are immaculate, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and humidity. You'll find the greens rolling true and the landscaping vibrant during these windows.

What's the one hole at Crooked Lake Golf Club that everyone talks about, and why?

Without a doubt, the par-5 15th is the showstopper here, offering a dramatic dogleg right around the lake. Your second shot is crucial - do you lay up safely or try to cut off more of the water for a shorter approach? It's a true risk-reward hole that will stick with you long after your round.

What's the typical green fee range at Crooked Lake, and is it worth the cost?

Green fees at Crooked Lake typically range from $75-$120, depending on the season and time of day, with twilight rates offering a good value. We absolutely think it's worth it for the unique lake views and well-maintained conditions; it's a memorable round without breaking the bank compared to some other courses in the region.
