Any specific tips or local knowledge for navigating Wingatepark's course effectively?

Absolutely-pay close attention to your approach shots on the par-3s; they're often well-guarded and demand accuracy. Also, don't be afraid to lay up on some of the longer par-4s if your drive isn't perfect, as the rough can be penal. A smart, strategic game plan will serve you far better here than trying to overpower the course.
