Playing Tips

The course is mostly flat with gentle undulations, so prioritize accurate iron play and distance control into the bentgrass greens rather than relying on elevation changes.

Although described as a spacious forest course, trees line many holes so favor accuracy from the tee and avoid gambling for tight fairway angles.

Wind can be a factor—especially on open stretches—so check the wind direction on each hole and choose clubs that give you low, controlled ball flight when breezy.

Use the on-site 300-yard range and short-game practice green to dial in approach distances and get a feel for the greens’ speed, which are bentgrass and reward precise distance control.
