What to Expect
Expect a challenging round that will likely test your strategic skills, especially off the tee. The Judge Course is best suited for mid to low handicap players given its length and layout; however, higher handicappers can still enjoy it by playing from the forward tees. Watch out for water hazards and well-placed bunkers that can disrupt your approach shots, particularly on the par 4s and par 5s. Club selection is key, especially in the wind, which can gust through the trees lining the fairways. Make sure to take your time on the greens — they can be faster than they appear.
Fun Fact
A fun tidbit about the Judge Course is that it was designed by the iconic Robert Trent Jones Sr., who famously said that every course he designed should offer golfers a different challenge. The course is part of the larger Capitol Hill complex, which showcases the art of golf course architecture.
