Elevated tees and undulating fairways demand precise club selection, while the mature tree lines frame shots that separate the locals from the weekend hackers. At 72 par, it's long enough to test your mettle without beating you into submission—assuming you can navigate the subtle breaks on greens that have humbled plenty of single-digit handicaps.
