Playing Tips

Tee shots demand accuracy on rolling, hilly fairways where strategic bunkers often force you to aim for specific landing zones.

Ponds and bunkers are used as design accents around many greens, so prioritize course management and placement over sheer distance.

Bentgrass greens are maintained to championship standards and tend to be relatively fast with subtle undulations, so read breaks carefully and avoid three-putts.

Expect frequent elevation changes on approach shots—club up for uphill lies and trust the downhill run when attacking elevated pins.

Wind can be variable and occasionally gusty given the open and hilly routing, so factor wind and trajectory into every long club selection.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable conditions and stable weather; avoid the June rainy season and the hot, typhoon-prone midsummer months.
