What to Expect
As you'll find, Blair Park caters well to a wide range of golfers, from beginners to those with low handicaps. It's wise to manage your course strategy especially on the par 3s—these holes can bite if you're not careful with club selection. The course's relatively short distance means hitting greens in regulation is possible, but be prepared for some tricky undulations in the putting surfaces. If you're playing from the back tee, watch out for the placement of bunkers and water hazards that can come into play. Overall, expect a friendly round that emphasizes technique rather than sheer distance.
