Whether you've been golfing for years or are new to the sport, the staff at Strawberry Farms wants to help improve your game.

They also offer a custom club fittings, and the cost of the session will be applied to the purchase of a custom set of clubs from the pro shop (which also stocks everything else you might need for your golf experience, including a yardage book that will help you to plan out your approach shots).

Once you have everything that you need to get going, make a stop at the driving range with its 28 stations and a pair of putting greens. The check out the Course Conditions board.

Having an idea of what's ahead is a great benefit. Portions of the course make ball retrieval impossible - knowing where they are will help you avoid them, but it's still a good idea to have a few extra balls with you just in case you need them.

Extra balls may not be available throughout the course, but Strawberry Farms does have a full beverage cart near the fourth and fourteenth tees, and restrooms are available at the fifth and fourteenth holes.
