Yep, last year the Tuesday of Masters week.

It’s amazing. Challenging, but fun. We used caddies, would suggest the same...they were cool and a big help. Prepare to drop some cash in the pro shop!

Future father in law has played it, says it is really hard if the wind is blowing.

TV for Ryder Cup did the course and conditions no justice. Beautiful, great course but can be very difficult to play

Expect a very great golf experience.

Course isn’t overly hard if you play the right tees for you, they have about 6 to choose from. Obviously this assumes mild wind. Very hard when the wind blows as the course runs parallel to the ocean so every shot has cross wind.

Listen to your caddy.

Typical Dye course. Visually it looks narrow and small but plenty of space.

Greens are a different grass than you a probably use to (can’t remember what they are) but it can be an adjustment.

Plan to stay after the round and enjoy some drinks in the clubhouse if they are allowing that currently.

It’s such an amazing experience - blows away Pinehurst #2 in terms of overall experience IMHO... my two girls play it every year.. my 11 year old shot an 83 from the forward tees and was ticked she didn’t bust 80... 9 year old shot 79 from about 4000 yards... have fun man....
