Playing Tips

The course's water hazards and well-placed bunkers reward conservative tee shots, so prioritize accuracy over distance on tight holes.

Several holes play over rolling terrain with elevated tees and greens, so club selection is critical to account for uphill and downhill yardages.

Coastal breezes and afternoon winds can change direction quickly, so monitor wind and adjust club choice rather than relying on yardage alone.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but show subtle breaks, so take extra time to read putts and favor leaving approaches below the hole.

From the back tees the course stretches over 7,000 yards, so non-long hitters should consider forward tees and strategic layups to avoid trouble and keep scoring opportunities.
