Playing Tips

Wide fairways and gentle undulations reward conservative tee shots, so prioritize fairway placement over risking long carries.

Coastal exposure means sea breezes can alter club selection, so check wind direction on every hole and adjust yardage accordingly.

Greens include both Zoysia and Bentgrass varieties, with Zoysia typically slower and influenced by grain while Bentgrass can be faster, so vary your putting touch by green type and pin location.

Strategically placed bunkers protect landing areas and approaches, so plan tee shots to avoid bunker zones and consider laying up on long par-4s or riskier approaches.

Hilly, elevated routing creates uphill and downhill approach shots that affect carry and rollout, so factor slope into club choice and stance setup.
