Boundary Waters rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the wind direction at the clubhouse, as it can shift significantly across the more exposed sections of the course. Keep the ball below the hole on tiered greens to avoid defensive putting. Always verify yardages to both the front and back of the green to account for the depth of the complex.
