The vibe
A links-ish, rolling muni with a little more bite and better conditioning than the budget tracks — a fun "are we actually getting better?" test.
Holes we're watching
The holes we expect to make or break our round here:
- Rolling, open holes with wind that makes club selection matter
- A strong closing stretch that has decided many a friendly bet
How hard is it (on paper)?
Wind and length add a club; the rolling lies make distance control real.
We're beginners, so our plan is simple: play it forward a set of tees. Nobody has ever regretted a shorter, more makeable round — and the scorecard thanks you for it.
