What's the real test at Thatcher Golf Course, and is there a hole everyone talks about?

You'll quickly find the greens are the true challenge at Thatcher; they're subtly sloped and often faster than they look, so pay attention to your approach shots. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th - it plays over a small pond to a well-bunkered green, demanding precision and a steady nerve.

What's one practical tip or unique feature at Thatcher Golf Course that a first-timer should know?

Here's a tip: don't be afraid to lay up on the par-5 12th. There's a creek that cuts across the fairway about 100 yards short of the green, and too many players try to force it, ending up with a penalty. Play smart, and you'll walk away with a par or better.
