Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland
Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland. At Gig Harbor, the course presents 18 holes of exposed terrain where wind is not a variable but a participant. The 5,602-yard layout plays differently with every weather system that comes in off the water. Ground game matters here. Trajectory, spin, and bounce are decisions you make before you take the club back. Slope of 111 puts this squarely in moderate territory. Enough movement to notice, not enough to dread.
