Local knowledge

Misses long or short-sided on the crowned greens leave hard up-and-downs; aim for the fat middle.
Replay rounds at the reduced rate can only be booked on the day, after the first round; a replay booked in advance pays full rate.
Tee times need 72 hours' notice per foursome to cancel; package cancellations within 30 days of arrival forfeit in full (resort FAQ).
The four-course 25% multi-round discount makes a Barefoot-only trip cheaper per round than mixing in one Barefoot course.
