What to Expect
As an enjoyable yet challenging course, Cedar Rock suits golfers with a range of handicaps, but lower-handicap players may find the layout more rewarding. Pay attention to the undulating greens, as they can be tricky, especially when the wind picks up. You'll want to plan your shots carefully, particularly on approach to the greens, as well-placed bunkers can be lurking near the landing areas. The Bermuda fairways afford a good lie, but be conscious of the occasional rough spots — a consistent swing will help keep you out of those tricky zones.
Fun Fact
