What's one practical tip for playing Meliden Golf Course that only a local would know?

Keep an eye on the wind, especially on the more exposed holes, as it can really play tricks with your ball flight. We found that club selection on the par-3s, particularly the one with the elevated green, is crucial - don't be afraid to take an extra club to ensure you carry the front bunker. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute force.
