Course Planning Tips

  1. Booking windows

    Book Tee Times Early

    Reserve tee times well in advance, especially for Links at Crowbush Cove and Brudenell River Golf Course, as these courses fill quickly during peak season.

  2. Hard/soft pacing

    Pace Your Hardest Rounds

    Avoid scheduling back-to-back rounds on challenging courses like Links at Crowbush Cove and Brudenell River. Mix in resort or hidden gem rounds for recovery.

  3. Pairing days

    Pair Coastal Links on Consecutive Days

    Group links-style rounds such as Links at Crowbush Cove and Brudenell River to experience similar conditions efficiently.

  4. Practice rounds

    Consider Practice Rounds

    If time permits, play a practice round at a resort course like Mill River Golf Course to acclimate before tackling tougher championship layouts.

  5. Weather on exposed sites

    Prepare for Wind on Exposed Courses

    Bring wind-appropriate gear and plan shot strategy carefully when playing exposed seaside courses, where conditions can change rapidly.
