MixedSeat & section strategy
Golf has no single seat: holes 6 through 10 and 17 through 18 deliver the signature scenery, while a strategic inland position may show more groups with less walking.
03
PositiveEvent-day character
The Pacific cliffs and small greens make even practice movement compelling, but the best day comes from balancing iconic holes with realistic walking distances.
