How Lewis & Clark should actually be played

What makes Lewis & Clark tricky

The par fives offer the best opportunities for birdies provided you can navigate the directional crosswinds. Most scoring damage occurs on the par threes if high-arcing shots are caught by the wind and diverted into bunkering. Staying patient and playing for the center of the greens will stabilize the scorecard.

Who will enjoy Lewis & Clark

Lewis & Clark suits golfers who want to improve their scoring through better decision-making. Mid handicap players benefit most from playing conservatively, while lower handicap golfers can take advantage of scoring opportunities when they are clearly available.

Where most golfers lose shots at Lewis & Clark

The most common error is failing to adjust for wind speed and direction, which can push well-struck shots into the native tall grass. Over-swinging on uphill approaches often results in missing the green long, where recovery is difficult. Golfers often underestimate the break on the large, subtle putting surfaces.

Scoring Zone strategy for Lewis & Clark

On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Lewis & Clark, the goal should be simple: two controlled shots. You don't need a perfect drive — you need a repeatable position that allows you to play your next shot with confidence.

Lewis & Clark rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the local forecast as wind velocity typically increases in the afternoon. Use a lower-ball flight on approach shots to maintain control and accuracy. Confirm your yardage to the front of the green rather than the pin to ensure you clear any front-side hazards.
