Playing Tips

With only about 7 meters of elevation change, expect mostly level lies so club selection is straightforward but precise yardages still matter.

Ponds and bunkers are strategically placed around landing areas and greens, so accuracy off the tee and conservative play toward hazards are rewarded.

Tree-lined fairways demand controlled tee shots and course management rather than pure distance to avoid blocked approaches.

Bentgrass greens are generally true but can be quicker than they appear, so use a light touch on long putts and be cautious reading subtle breaks.

Although the woods shelter many holes from wind, some open stretches can produce swirling conditions so check the flag and adjust club selection accordingly.
