What to Expect
While Stumpy Lake is accessible for a range of handicaps, the combination of water hazards and open fairways makes it particularly suited for mid to high handicappers looking to improve their game. Be cautious of the water that comes into play on several holes—especially on approach shots. Good course management is key; it's often better to play it safe than to go for the flag if there's trouble lurking. On a hot day, expect the Bermuda grass to play a bit differently, so consider your club selection for approach shots.
