Where most golfers lose shots at Squamish Valley

Squamish Valley rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Factor in extra club for shots played in the early morning or late afternoon when the air is damp and heavy. Take note of the mountain peaks to help read the subtle slopes on the greens, as putts tend to break away from the higher elevations. Keep the ball below the hole whenever possible to avoid defensive putting on the slicker surfaces.
