Local knowledge

The cheapest championship-length 18 in the area. Online dynamic pricing drops to about $49 after 1:40 PM and $37 after 3 PM.
Online bookings are prepaid and non-cancelable. If plans may change, book by phone instead.
It is inland in Foley (about 20 minutes from the beach), so less wind and it is closer to OWA and Tanger Outlets lodging.
