Playing Tips

Because the course is hilly with elevation changes, carefully adjust club selection—use more club for uphill shots and less for downhill ones.

Prioritize tee-shot placement and course management on the outward nine, which offers more variety and strategic options rather than just focusing on distance.

Approach shots to the bentgrass greens should be precise as surfaces can play firm and fast, so control spin and trajectory to hold the putting surface.

Be ready for coastal and ridge winds that can move the ball more than expected on exposed holes, so play lower trajectories or club up when necessary.

Wear soft spikes as recommended and allow for some uneven lies and sloping fairways due to the hilly routing.
