Playing Tips

At 6,830 yards the par‑72 layout rewards distance but conservative tee shots that prioritize fairway position will save strokes.

Bentgrass greens tend to be true and receptive so focus on precise approach shots and careful reading of subtle breaks.

Although inland, some holes can be exposed and produce variable winds—check the flag direction at each tee and adjust club selection accordingly.

The course is described as spacious, which helps with tee shot placement, but accurate iron play and good short game are needed to score well.
