With every hole between 57 and 81 yards, you’ll find you need every lob wedge and putter in your bag– but not much more than that or it makes it tough to juggle your beer, Bloody Mary, or Belvedere and Tonic. A double loop here for 18 holes, and we’ll find out if Scaf is just great, or The Greatest.
