What to Expect
When you tee off at Cummings Cove, come prepared for a course that’s friendly to mid-handicap players but still offers its share of challenges. With a slope rating that suggests a moderate difficulty, you’ll need to manage your approach shots carefully, especially on holes where the greens are tucked near hazards. The Bermuda grass fairways and greens can be lush during the growing season, so be aware of those lies—if you’re playing from the rough, it could be a bit tricky. Focus on accuracy rather than sheer distance, particularly on the tighter doglegs, and you’ll find a rewarding round awaits.
