Is Mandai a good first 9-hole round?
I have done three lessons and can hit a 7 iron most of the time. Would Mandai be a calm place to try my first 9 holes, or should I spend more time at the range first?

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.
Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.
I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.
