Playing Tips

Use the wide, flat front nine to be more aggressive off the tee and try to capitalize on scoring opportunities, but switch to precision play on the tighter, tree-lined back nine.

Be mindful of elevation changes across the course and adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approaches, as they can significantly affect distance.

Greens are bentgrass and maintained to tournament standards, so pay attention to subtle breaks and speed because putts can be quicker than they appear.

Strategic bunkers and water hazards are placed to punish wayward tee shots and approaches, so favor the wider portions of the fairway and lay up when the angle is tight.

Wind from the surrounding highlands can be changeable and affect long clubs, so check conditions on exposed holes and play conservative lines when gusts are strong.
