Playing Tips

At over 7,000 yards the course plays long so bring extra club length and favour distance off the tee on the longer par 4s and par 5s.

Fairways are relatively wide which rewards aggressive tee shots, but accuracy into greens is important because tournament-conditioned rough and pin positions can be penal.

Expect lake-influenced winds to alter ball flight on exposed holes, so keep shots lower and factor wind into club selection.

Bentgrass greens are maintained to tournament standards and can be quick and true, so test the speed on your first putt and leave yourself below the hole when possible.

Soft spikes are recommended and the course can play firmer in dry spells and more receptive after rain, so adjust approach shots accordingly.
