Playing Tips

Wide, flat fairways make tee shots forgiving so prioritize position play and avoid unnecessary risk off the tee.

At 6,825 yards the course rewards length and accuracy, so plan conservative tee shots when hazards or tight approaches looms.

Several holes feature noticeable uphill and downhill shots so adjust club selection for elevation changes and allow extra distance on downhill shots.

Mature cedar forests line many holes, so keeping the ball in the centre of the fairway is important to avoid blocked or difficult recovery shots.

Greens are bentgrass and can be moderately quick with subtle breaks, so take time to read putts and focus on speed control.
