Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accurate tee shots and strategic placement—prioritize position over pure distance to leave manageable approach angles.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be quick, so focus on pace control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Account for elevation changes on club selection—take extra club for uphill approaches and expect more rollout on downhill shots.

Wind can affect exposed holes; keep a controlled, lower ball flight when breezy and remember soft spikes are required.
