Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to experience CNC Links at its finest?

We think late spring or early fall offers the ideal balance at CNC Links. You'll catch the course in prime condition with less extreme wind than summer, and the fescue is beautifully golden. Avoid mid-summer if you dislike scorching sun and the busiest crowds.

What's the biggest challenge a mid-handicapper will face at CNC Links?

The biggest challenge at CNC Links, hands-down, is managing the deep pot bunkers, especially around the greens. They are truly penal; if you find one, your goal is simply to get out, not to save par. We recommend playing conservatively into the greens, aiming for the fat part.

Are caddies recommended at CNC Links, and what's the typical cost?

Absolutely, we strongly recommend taking a caddie at CNC Links, especially if it's your first time. Their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on the greens and how the wind truly impacts shots is invaluable. Expect to pay around $100-$120 plus a gratuity, which is money well spent here.

Which hole is the signature hole at CNC Links, and what makes it special?

The par-3 14th hole at CNC Links is truly unforgettable, playing directly along the rugged coastline. The views are spectacular, but the shot demands precision over a chasm to a green exposed to the elements. We've seen many a good round unravel here, so choose your club wisely and commit.

How does CNC Links accommodate different skill levels, and what's the overall pace of play like?

CNC Links is a stern test, no doubt, but it's surprisingly playable for a wide range of golfers if you choose the right tees. The course rewards strategic thinking over brute force, so don't be afraid to play a bump-and-run or use a hybrid off the tee. Pace of play is generally excellent, as the course encourages walking and efficient play.
