Don't let the scenery distract you from the task at hand!

Can I walk the course at Sapphire National, or is a cart recommended?

While you *can* walk Sapphire National, we strongly recommend taking a cart, especially if you're not accustomed to significant elevation changes. The course features some dramatic uphill and downhill treks between holes, which can be quite a workout and might tire you out before the back nine. Save your energy for your swing.
