Just looking ahead to our arrival April 1st and planning for our daily games. I am looking for information on which holes to select for the daily Long Drive, Close Pin & Close Pin in 2 shots (a short par 4) Our courses are:

The Pearl - West / East
Thistle - McKay / Cameron
Sandpiper - not sure which 9's
Crow Creek
Rivers Edge
Glen Dornoch

These are all new courses to us. Any input will be much appreciated. Our group of 24 have handicaps ranging from 12 to +30. To keep everyone in contention for Close Pin, I like to limit the selected hole to a max of 145-150 yds. but preferring 110-130 yds.

Thanks in advance Art, you've been so helpful in the past, could I impose upon you 1 more time?

It's going to be great to return, we've had 3 trips booked and cancelled since April 2020 when this sh*tstorm started.

Cheers,

Bryan

The 27 hole courses are tricky to pick holes, because you don't
always know exactly what 9's you play.  If they triple tee, you 
probably play what you booked.  When they double tee with 3rd 
nine at 10am, you won't know until that day.    
 
Pearl:  CTP: West #8    CloseIn2: West #2   Long Drive:  East #9    

Thistle:  CTP: Cam #4    CloseIn2: Cam #7   Long Drive:  Cam #9
 
SPB:  CTP: Sand #2    CloseIn2: Bay #4     Long Drive:  Sand #5
SPB:  CTP: Piper #6    CloseIn2: Sand #7   Long Drive:  Bay   #9 
  
CCreek:  CTP: #13      CloseIn2: #11         Long Drive:  #18 
 
RE:     CTP: #5           CloseIn2: #14      Long Drive: #11
 
Glen Dor:  CTP: #4     CloseIn2: #3       Long Drive:  #11  
 
Some of these courses don't have the ideal hole for some of the contests 
and some have more than one.
