Playing Tips

The front nine is relatively flat so you can be aggressive off the tee and take advantage of longer clubs to set up shorter approaches.

The back nine uses the natural foothill terrain and requires more strategic club selection and accurate tee shots—favor position over pure distance on tighter or uphill holes.

Bentgrass greens tend to run true and can be quicker than other surfaces, so pay attention to pace, read subtle breaks, and avoid leaving long uphill comebacks.

Wind can swirl and change direction near the foothills, especially on elevated holes, so test the wind at address and adjust club selection accordingly.

Soft spikes are recommended and the course’s moderate total length (6,529 yards) rewards smart risk-reward decisions rather than all-out power.
