How does wind affect play at Moab Golf Club?

The prevailing wind at Moab Golf Club typically comes from the West, which plays a significant role in club selection and shot strategy throughout your round.

Being able to work the ball—shaping shots left or right to counteract the wind—is a valuable skill that will help you navigate the course more effectively. Adjusting your yardage calculations and club selection based on wind conditions, along with understanding how to keep the ball under the wind when necessary, can help you avoid costly mistakes and score better.
