Light winds off the Bay will often be a factor in the strategy and shot selection of the savvy player.Variety in hole length and orientation will maximize the variety in length of approach shots and club selection. The front and back nines are balanced at Out – Par 36; In – Par 36; Total – Par 72, with both nines returning to the Clubhouse and central facilities. The course can play to 7015 yards from the pro tees, 6600 yards from the long tees, 6135 to 5665 yards from the regular tees and 5080 yards from the forward tees and will be set up in cognizance of prevailing winds.
