Playing Tips

Several holes include noticeable elevation changes so always adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approaches and try to leave your approach shots below the hole.

The course uses bentgrass greens that roll fairly true but can show subtle breaks, so focus on speed control when putting and on delicate 50–100 yard shots.

Mountain winds from the Mt. Myoko area can be variable and gusty, so check wind direction at each tee and be prepared to change clubs accordingly.

At about 6,286 yards the layout is moderate in length with some tighter landing areas, so prioritize accuracy off the tee over pure distance and use the cart iPad to study hole layouts before each shot.
