Playing Tips

The front nine contains several long, relatively flat holes where distance off the tee is rewarded, so use the driver wisely to set up shorter approaches.

Fairways feature subtle undulations and the rough has rolling mounds, so prioritize distance control and avoid leaving yourself a difficult downhill or sidehill stance into the green.

The back nine brings more elevation changes and downhill shots, and the signature 15th is a steep, water‑guarded downhill hole that requires a precise, controlled club selection.

The finishing stretch, especially the 18th, has multiple tiers and level changes around the green that make approaches and putts tricky, so play to the safer side when pin positions are difficult.

Greens are bentgrass and very well maintained, generally receptive but with subtle breaks, so focus on reading slopes and dialing in your putting touch.
