Compact, relatively gentle, tree-lined all-par-3 routing around Agua Hedionda Creek; small/crowned green targets provide the primary strategic defense. Easy in distance; more demanding in precision than the sub-2,000-yard scorecard suggests because of small/crowned or domed green complexes.

Excellent. Walking is highly practical. Pull carts $8; electric carts $25/cart. Current official rate sheet overrides stale directories saying carts are unavailable. Compact, relatively gentle, tree-lined all-par-3 routing around Agua Hedionda Creek; small/crowned green targets provide the primary strategic defense.
