Local "Insider" Tips
- Pay Attention to the Elevation Changes: The elevation shifts can impact your club selection, especially on the back nine.
- Greens Break Towards the Valley: Most greens tend to slope towards the Tumwater Valley, so read your putts carefully!
- Watch Out for the Morning Dew: The early rounds can be damp, so be prepared for slick greens until the sun dries them out.
Caddie's Bag Check (Weather & Gear)
The climate in Tumwater is typically mild and temperate, with a good chance of rain, especially in the fall and winter months. With average highs in the summer reaching into the 70s and cool mornings, it’s essential to dress in layers. Since the wind kicks up on the back nine, a sturdy windbreaker is non-negotiable here. It will keep you comfortable and dry, allowing you to focus on your swing rather than the elements!
