Playing Tips

Accuracy is more valuable than raw distance on this hilly layout, so favor controlled tee shots to avoid ponds, rock outcrops, and tree-lined rough.

Pay close attention to elevation changes when selecting clubs because many approach shots play significantly uphill or downhill compared with the yardage.

The bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be true but subtly undulating, so take time to read breaks and avoid aggressive long putts.

Coastal and seasonal winds can influence ball flight on exposed holes, so check flag direction and adjust club selection and aim accordingly.
