We recommend aiming for a weekday morning if you want a more relaxed pace and fewer groups ahead of you.

You'll find the course in great shape during these shoulder seasons.

Are there any specific holes or challenges at Chamberlain Park that I should be aware of?
While not overly long, Chamberlain Park demands accuracy, especially with its mature trees lining many fairways. Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th, which often plays into the prevailing wind, and the dogleg par-4 15th, where a well-placed drive is key to setting up your approach. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute strength.
