Playing Tips

Take advantage of the relatively straight fairways by prioritizing tee-shot positioning over raw distance to set up easier approaches.

Adjust club selection for elevation changes because several holes play noticeably uphill or downhill, so plan for a club up or down accordingly.

Greens are bentgrass and very well maintained but only moderate in speed, so accuracy into the green is more important than lag putting from long distance.

Watch for shifting mountain winds from the Myoko area that can gust or change direction during the round and affect ball flight.

Use the cart navigation to plan the best routing across the 27 holes and consider walking shorter nines for better rhythm and fitness.
