Playing Tips

Select your tee carefully because multiple tee options significantly change hole lengths and strategy.

Hilly terrain and elevation changes make club selection for approach shots critical, so allow for uphill and downhill adjustments.

Holes 16–18 feature water hazards and demand precise tee and approach shots, so favor position over distance to avoid penalties.

Fairways are framed by natural woodland, so prioritize accuracy off the tee and aim for the center of the landing area.

Bentgrass greens have subtle contours, so read breaks carefully and avoid overly aggressive long putts.
