Local "Insider" Tips
- Greens break towards the Pacific: Keep in mind that the undulating greens often slope towards the ocean, so read your putts carefully.
- Watch for the afternoon winds: The coastal breezes can pick up, especially on the back nine, so adjust your club selection accordingly.
- Be mindful of the trees: The towering eucalyptus and cypress trees not only provide scenic beauty but can also obstruct your shots; aim wisely!
