**How It Plays**: Blue Lakes’ fairways are moderately tight, with trees and water hazards demanding accurate drives. The greens are medium-sized with subtle breaks, requiring controlled approach shots. The par-4 9th, with its river proximity, tests strategy, while the par-5s offer scoring chances for long hitters. The course’s classic design and moderate length make it accessible, but bunkers and water add challenge. Wind off the canyon can affect shots, rewarding precision and course management for low scores.
