Local "Insider" Tips

Caddie's Bag Check (Weather & Gear)
The typical weather in this region can be quite variable, with cool breezes off the lake and occasional rain showers, especially during the spring and fall months. With temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low-70s in prime golfing season, it’s crucial to be prepared for both sun and wind. Since the wind kicks up on the back nine, a sturdy windbreaker is non-negotiable here. It will not only keep you warm but also shield you from unexpected gusts that can easily disrupt your game.
