Playing Tips

The hilly layout and frequent elevation changes make accurate club selection essential—take one more club for uphill approaches and consider less club for long downhill shots.

Many holes feature multi‑tiered bentgrass greens, so aim to leave your approach on the correct tier to avoid long, awkward putts.

Because several holes are modeled on famous international designs with strategic bunkering, prioritize position off the tee over maximum distance to give yourself better approach angles.

Local winds on exposed ridges can be unpredictable, so check wind direction before each shot and keep the ball flight lower when it's breezy.

Bentgrass greens are generally smooth and can play firm in warmer months, so focus on precise distance control and read subtle breaks carefully.
