Playing Tips

Despite the club’s flat layout, accuracy off the tee is important because water features and narrow landing areas demand well-placed drives.

Several holes are protected by water near the landing zones or greens, so favour conservative club selection and lay up when the carry risk is high.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can run true and fairly quick, so take care with pace on putts and test the speed early in your round.

At nearly 7,000 yards the course plays long, so longer hitters can gain advantage but smart course management and avoiding big numbers will pay off.

Winds are typically light inland breezes, but exposed holes can pick up enough wind to alter flight on long irons and drivers, so check flags before key shots.
