Playing Tips

The course is mostly flat with strategically placed ponds, so prioritize accuracy off the tee to avoid water and leave favorable angles into the greens.

At 6,851 yards the layout plays long so long hitters can gain an advantage, but precise long-iron play and smart course management are rewarded.

Greens are large, heavily undulating and surfaced with fast Bentgrass, so focus on distance control and read subtle breaks carefully to avoid costly three-putts.

White sand bunkers frame many greens and fairways, so favor conservative approaches when the risk of being short-sided or plugged is high.
