Description:
PACIFIC PALISADES. This outstanding, classic course requires a lot from golfers. While good shots are rewarded, miscues off the tee can cause serious problems. Thanks to a number of doglegs, the course demands well-placed tee shots to prevent being blocked out for the approach. Errant approaches find extremely difficult bunkers and make for a long day on the beautiful course. |
