Can I comfortably walk Shield Crest, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While you *can* walk Shield Crest, we strongly recommend a cart due to the significant elevation changes, especially on the back nine. You'll conserve energy and enjoy the round more, focusing on your game rather than the uphill climbs.

The 19th hole at Shield Crest is surprisingly charming; the "Eagle's Nest" grill offers a fantastic view of the 18th green and a solid menu. Grab a local craft beer and their famous "Crest Burger" - it's the perfect way to unwind and discuss your round.
