Caddies
At Wild Spring Dunes, a caddie helps you read the course, find your way, and enjoy the walk.What to Expect
A caddie does more than carry a bag. Your caddie can help you:
Navigate the course and understand its lines
Get yardages and read greens
Choose clubs and plan your shots
Keep the group moving and help locate shots
Care for your clubs and the course throughout the round
Our caddies walk several miles each day, so keeping your bag light makes a difference for both pace of play and the overall experience. We recommend bringing only the essentials for the round and using a carry bag with a stand and single or double strap that weighs approx. 25 lbs or less. If you arrive with a larger cart bag, we may recommend using one of our change-out bags while on property. Any extra equipment can be stored during your round.
Bag Considerations
What to pack:14 clubs or fewer
1 water bottle
6 golf balls
1-2 versatile bag straps
1 layering piece or rain gear, depending on the forecast
