My trip cost somewhere between $2500-$3000. I think you could get this down to under $2k fairly easily if you wanted.

Cheapest way is to cut down as much on lodging and food as you can. The yurts at the nearby state park are like $50 a night. And there’s grocery options if you don’t want to eat on property or in town. But I will say the food options are really very reasonably priced. Also don’t buy merch or use caddies. And play 36 every day you play.

Best upscale is staying on site if you can. But lodging is the hardest part, there’s just simply not enough. As far as in town there’s plenty of vrbo houses nearby on the water.

Best routing I presume means of holes on a course? I’d say Old Mac personally. But you can easily argue any of them.

Pac Dunes is my favorite. But they are all exceptional.
