Playing Tips

The course’s hilly terrain affects club selection—expect uphill and downhill shots that will change yardage, so adjust clubs accordingly.

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded on the undulating fairways, so prioritize positioning over distance to avoid difficult recovery lies.

Several holes incorporate water and well-placed hazards, so play conservative approaches when pins are tucked near trouble areas.

Greens are bentgrass with moderate speed and subtle breaks, so take extra time to read slopes and favor conservative lines on long putts.

Wind can be variable due to nearby coastal influences, so check wind direction on exposed holes and be prepared to alter club choice.
