Are there any specific holes or features at Courthouse and Jail Rock I should pay extra attention to?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 8th hole; it plays directly towards Jail Rock and is a fantastic photo opportunity, but don't let the view distract you from the tricky bunker placement. Also, the finishing 18th is a strong par-5 that demands a precise drive to set up a chance at a closing birdie. You'll want to take a moment on the 10th tee box for the panoramic vista.
