Playing Tips

Fairways and rough are maintained at the same height so errant shots are less penal and you can often expect cleaner, more predictable lies for recovery shots.

The hilly terrain demands careful club selection on uphill and downhill shots, so adjust your yardages and consider taking an extra club for long uphill approaches.

Bentgrass greens generally provide a true roll but can be quicker in cool, dry weather, so focus on controlling approach distance to avoid long, tricky putts.

Open, elevated holes can be affected by gusts and shifting breezes, so check wind direction from the tee and aim accordingly rather than always trusting yardage.

Best Season to Play
