Playing Tips

The layout is hilly so pay close attention to elevation changes and adjust club selection accordingly—take one more club for uphill shots and one less for downhill shots.

Well-maintained bentgrass greens run fairly true and can be quick, so take time to read subtle breaks and be precise with approach shots.

Accuracy from the tee is rewarded on sloping fairways and in landing areas where a miss can leave a tricky recovery up or down slopes.

Although the local climate is generally mild, exposed holes can experience gusty sea breezes so check wind direction before committing to long shots.
