Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accuracy off the tee—favor position over pure distance when fairways narrow or landings are sloped.

The front nine is generally longer and more demanding, so manage risk early and keep bogeys low rather than hunting birdies.

Hole 8’s left‑side pond makes the par‑5 strategic; consider a safer right‑side line or a controlled layup to avoid the water on your second shot.

Bentgrass greens are subtle and demand a delicate touch and careful reads, especially on sloping or downhill putts; wind can affect approaches so factor that into club selection.
