Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is more important than raw distance because many fairways are relatively narrow.

Being a highland course, several holes feature noticeable elevation changes so choose clubs carefully for uphill and downhill shots.

The facility uses both zoysia and bentgrass surfaces on putting greens, so expect variable speeds and adjust approach shots and putting pace accordingly.

Plateau exposure can produce steady wind, especially on exposed tees and late holes, so factor wind direction into club selection.

Use the 300‑yard driving range and approach area to dial in distances and practice shots you’ll face on the course.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As a highland plateau the course is generally cooler than the lowlands, with brisk winds on exposed holes; the region has a rainy season in early summer and winters can bring frost or occasional snow.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant conditions, avoiding the rainy season and winter cold.
