Know which way the winds blowing

Because this is a links course with no trees anywhere, even a mild breeze affects club selections and aim. What would normally feel like a one club wind on a normal course is a two club wind here. The course is in great condition and has a great variety of holes. Short par 4's, dog legs in both directions and strategic bunkering. Great value for the price and much cooler (mid 70's) when the courses East of the tunnel are 100+ degrees.

Challenging short par 4s

We played from the whites, but even from the blues, there are some interesting short par 4s where selecting the right club to hit off the tee really has a direct impact on your score. This isn't a course where you automatically pull out driver on every 4 or 5. Not a course for guys who just want to bomb it off the tee, but it's a great challenge for guys who want to think their way around a course.
