Playing Tips

Greens are fast bentgrass—putt speed will be quick so prioritize speed control and avoid aggressive long lag putts.

The course plays links-like with rolling terrain and shoreline bunkers, so favor position and trajectory control over pure distance off the tee.

White sand bunkers are abundant around the shoreline and greens, making accuracy into the green more important than attacking pins blindly.

At about 7,056 yards from the back tees the layout is long, so consider forward tees if distance is an issue and play smartly into the undulating fairways.
