Tips for Playing Olde Homestead Golf Club
When playing Olde Homestead, pay close attention to the elevation changes; many holes play significantly uphill or downhill, impacting club selection. It's often wise to take an extra club on uphill approaches and one less on downhill shots to account for the topography. The bentgrass greens are typically fast and true, so practice your putting speed before your round to avoid three-putts. The course can be quite walkable, but a cart is recommended for those who prefer to conserve energy, especially on warmer days, due to the significant elevation changes between some holes. Don't forget to take a moment to appreciate the historic farm structures and scenic views throughout your round – they add to the unique charm of Olde Homestead.
