Playing Tips

The front nine is hilly and lined with cedar and cypress, so prioritize accuracy off the tee to avoid tree trouble and awkward recovery shots.

The back nine is flatter and longer—players who can hit long, straight shots should be more aggressive here to reach par 5s in two and shorten approaches.

Bentgrass greens can be quick and hold firm; take time to read subtle breaks and control approach spin to avoid three-putts.

Fairways are generally spacious, which helps higher-handicap players, but stray shots into the natural pine and cedar rough are penal—play conservatively when the hole calls for position.

Note the cart-on-fairway policy change effective June 1, 2025—if you need to drive onto fairways request permission in advance and be prepared to pay the fee; soft spikes are recommended.
