Playing Tips

Treat the course as a short-game practice facility and prioritize precise club selection for 40–130 yard shots rather than full-power swings.

Adjust club choice and trajectory for the frequent elevation changes and valley carries to avoid coming up short or overshooting the target.

Expect zoysia (Koma) greens to be a bit slower and sometimes bouncy, so focus on pace more than break when putting.

Make use of the 200-yard driving range, bunker area and putting green to dial in distances before playing the 9-hole approach course.

Be aware that mountain valley winds can be variable and shifty, so check wind direction at the tee and be ready to club up or down.
