Quivira trip

Played several times, never used a caddy.

But just for future reference minimum of $50 per bag is what the caddy tip rate typically is.

Played it twice. Never had to have a caddie. On course food and beverages were great. Almost a mile (up the hill) from 4th green to 5th tee box, but drink and breakfast taco station halfway up the switch back. Hole #6 is sick. Only about 310 yards, but, after scaling the side of a mountain, players arrive at this beguiling short par 4 set 275 feet above sea level. Slanted below a massive dune on the right, the tilted fairway traces a cliff’s edge to the left before plunging downhill to a rock-walled green cantilevered over the ocean. A large deep bunker defends the left side of the putting surface. “It’s a very exciting little hole,” Nicklaus said. “You can lay up off the tee and play a short shot down to the green; or you can try to drive the green.” While it’s far from conventional, Jack believes “people have learned to love it because of the uniqueness of it. It’s something you certainly are not going to create unless you’re on the ocean.”

Have fun. Memorable round.

I’ve played it a few times and I’d suggest playing in the morning because the wind picks up in the afternoon.
Have a great time!

The occasion for which the trip is celebrating is end of August, so that’s when it made the most sense to go. Also I live in south Louisiana so I’m not scared of a little heat and humidity.
