Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accurate tee shots and smart course management more than sheer distance.

Fairways are lined with pine and birch and contain well-placed hazards, so favor placement and conservative lines over aggressive misses.

The single, spacious bentgrass greens have subtle undulations, so take time to read breaks and control putter speed to avoid costly three-putts.

Account for elevation changes when clubbing as uphill and downhill shots can significantly alter yardage, and exposed tees can amplify crosswinds.
