The weather conditions here vary greatly depending on the season; during summer months temperatures can reach up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit while winter temperatures may drop as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The altitude and wind also play a big role in ball flight conditions across all four seasons so it's important to factor those into your strategy when planning your tee shot and approach shot.
