Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accurate tee shots—favor placement over pure distance to open better angles into the greens.

Many holes feature noticeable elevation changes, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approaches (take an extra club for long uphill shots).

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can run faster in warm months, so prioritize speed control and careful reads of subtle breaks.

At roughly 6,790 yards the course is on the long side, so long hitters can gain an advantage but conservative play and smart layups on par 5s will save strokes.

Exposed ridges can produce variable wind—use the cart GPS wind information and play to the contours when possible to minimize wind effects.
