Local "Insider" Tips
- Mind the Elevation: The greens here tend to break towards the nearby creek, so be sure to factor this in when lining up your putts.
- Watch the Bunkers: The sand traps are strategically placed; aim for the middle of the fairway to avoid them!
- Plan for the Finish: The back nine can be windy, particularly on the 15th and 16th holes, so adjust your club selection accordingly.
