What's the standout feature or signature hole I should look forward to at Gambler Ridge?

You absolutely have to look forward to the par-3 17th at Gambler Ridge - it's a real beauty, playing downhill over a small ravine to a well-bunkered green. It's a classic risk-reward hole that can make or break your scorecard, and the views from the tee are fantastic.

What's one practical tip for playing Gambler Ridge, especially regarding pace of play or course navigation?

Our best advice for Gambler Ridge is to pay close attention to the pin positions on the greens; they can be deceptively tricky and often dictate your approach strategy. Also, keep an eye on the group ahead, as some of the transitions between holes can be a bit spread out, making it easy to lose touch if you're not mindful.
