Wharton Country Club
About
The WCC upgraded in the late 1990s by renovating their bunkers and greens. The terrain is varied here, with numerous ravines and creeks that come into play.
Three par 3s are highlights of the round, mostly because they are all reasonably short and definite birdie opportunities. The toughest hole is the par 4 No. 3 at 429 yards, but every other par 4 is under 400 yards and both par 5s are reachable in two.
Two sets of tees make for an 18-hole round.
