Local wisdom for golf days

If you’re staying near the popular St. James area, mornings around 7 to 9 am are ideal for a round to avoid the heat and catch the gentle trade winds that keep things pleasant. Also, keep an eye on the weather as brief showers can show up unexpectedly, especially during the shoulder months of May and November. One good local tip is to pack sunscreen and a light rain jacket just in case, and check in at the course pro shop for any local course conditions or changes. It’s these little details locals swear by that can make a golf day here more comfortable and enjoyable.
