At Pablo, you go out there with your group and your caddies and you see no one else; it's just you and the course and beautiful mother nature.  They also pay a lot of attention to the little details when it comes to the club house and service, etc.

That is pretty bad awesome. It put it into a different perspective when you put it that way. So there are no golf carts? My buddy caddied for the one my uncle was a part of in penn. I am curious if pablo is exclusively caddie courses or not. He said all his tip would come from how his player did on 18 most of the time. If he set him up and he nailed it, he got as much as a 750 dollar tip from a guy who was playing his buddy for money an won on the last hole. He did say the biggest pain was what was how heavy the bags got. They had to carry all the player gatorade and food and every packed away on to o the normal stuff plus they obviously did not have stand bags they were the big [BLEEP] leather ones. He use to have to get the course at 530 because the caddies would stand there with there star rating and guys would pick them or something along those lines. He said it would suck if you got a [BLEEP] player and they would screw up the round, it would always be his fault and he would get a crap tip if any LOL .

I think they allow some golf carts but limited, and even then you have a fore-caddie.

My buddy is a caddie and said sometimes it was great and sometimes he got stiffed, really just depends on how well the player knows the etiquette and also how well they played, etc.  

I'm heading up to Kiawah Island next week to play the Ocean Course (and some other courses but the Ocean is the mac daddy), where they've held the Ryder Cup and the 2020 (I think?) PGA Championship.  They don't allow carts before like 12 and for a walking caddie they recommend a $100 tip per player dependent on service.
