Poa annua and ryegrass by the Pacific · use the shaved coastal slopes when the wind allows, but favor an approach beneath the hole over a links-style chase through Pebble's tiny greens.
A figure-eight routing repeatedly meets cliffs, coves and crosswinds; tiny angled greens and exposed approaches make placement and trajectory a sterner defense than raw length.

Weather.city supplies live wind speed and true direction. Choose into, across, or helping for each shot until course-routing bearings are connected for automatic hole-relative wind.
