Playing Tips

The course is very short and compact, so prioritize accuracy and a strong short game rather than sheer distance.

At this elevation the ball will carry slightly farther than at sea level, so consider using one club less on longer shots.

Highland exposure means winds can be gusty and change direction quickly, so check flags and trees before committing to a club and aim.

Take advantage of the quick turnaround on a 6-hole layout—focus practice on chips, pitch shots and putting to save strokes on small greens and tight approaches.
