Unless you are playing in these tournaments with very low expectations, you want to match the courses that best fit your game. I have played all but West Hills in tournaments. If the tournament with Southampton is in mid-May or earlier, having an afternoon time because of wind could be a couple stroke disadvange--is it worth the risk of the draw? If the level of competition is good, Galloway is going to favor the player with huge clubhead speed because it is a hard course with very firm conditions and does not require any strategic play as far as favoriing angle of attack. Elmwood, Nissequouge, Lake Success, and Pelham are tricky, and a practice round would be very beneficial. Definitely, want a good caddy to read the greens at Elmwood and Pelham because you will find some very counterintuitive breaks that are not easily seen. Sands Point and Hempstead are wonderful mid-length Tillies. Both can be overpowered by the bombers, but can be negotiated very successfully using good patience and attacking from advantageous angles.
