Playing Tips

Be precise off the tee on the front nine because ponds and bunkers are strategically placed and penalize wayward drives.

Use the back nine's wide, flat fairways to be more aggressive with your driver, but leave yourself manageable approach shots to the greens.

The course's greens are a mix of bentgrass and zoysia and can be firmer and quicker than they look, so play a few practice putts to gauge speed and subtle breaks.

Variable wind and local elevation changes can affect club selection, so check conditions on exposed or elevated holes before committing.
