Local "Insider" Tips
- Watch the Wind: Afternoon breezes can sneak up on you, particularly on the back nine. Adjust your club selection accordingly!
- Greens Break: Pay attention to the slopes; greens here tend to break towards the nearby Frio River, so keep that in mind when lining up your putts.
- Stay Hydrated: The Texas sun can be relentless, so make sure to have plenty of water on hand to keep your energy up throughout your round.
Caddie's Bag Check (Weather & Gear)
Given the location's coordinates (29.5313476, -99.6921254), you can expect a warm and often humid climate, particularly during the summer months.

Since the wind kicks up on the back nine, a sturdy windbreaker is non-negotiable here. It will not only shield you from any unexpected gusts but will also offer some protection from the sun's rays on those long, sun-soaked holes. Don't forget to pack your cooling towels or UV sleeves to stay comfortable and focused while you play!
