Avoid mid-summer if you're sensitive to humidity.

While the entire course flows beautifully, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th, which plays over a ravine to a well-guarded green-it's a real beauty and a stern test. We also love the strategic demands of the finishing stretch, particularly the par-4 18th, which requires a precise approach to a challenging green. The course's natural rolling terrain and mature trees are highlights throughout.
