Playing Tips

The course offers wide fairways and a spacious layout, so conservative tee shots aiming for the center will reward consistency more than attempting low-percentage heroics off the tee.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and receptive but can be faster than they look, so focus on distance control into the greens to avoid long downhill putts.

Because the course plays long at about 6,959 yards, prioritize placement and club selection off the tee to set up manageable approach shots rather than always trying to hit driver.

Wind can pick up in the afternoon and in valley areas around the course, so check wind direction on each tee and add or subtract clubs accordingly.
