Playing Tips

At just 1,019 yards over nine holes, prioritize accurate wedges and short irons rather than trying to hit long drives.

Well-maintained zoysia greens are receptive, so aim to land-and-stop your approaches instead of relying on rollouts.

The newly added pond and bunkers protect greens—when pins are tight, play the safe side instead of forcing risky shots.

As a forest-style, tree-lined layout, accurate tee placement is more important than distance on many holes.

Soft spikes are required; use the course as a short-game practice venue and work on delicate chips and putts around the greens.
