Planning Signals At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

Tournament operations override normal resort access. Remote shuttles are part of the day, and fog or road controls can stretch both arrival and departure.

02

Mixed

Seat & 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

Positive

Event-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.

FanProof Takeaway

Reviewed July 15, 2026

Use the event's shuttle plan, dress for several coastal seasons, and pick a realistic mix of iconic holes and stationary viewing rather than trying to walk every group.
