Playing Tips

The course is long (about 7,100 yards) and hilly, so prioritize accuracy off the tee to set up shorter approach shots rather than always trying to overpower holes.

Fairways are relatively wide but lined with pine trees, so keep tee shots in the short grass to avoid blocked approaches and difficult recovery shots.

Greens are bentgrass and can be faster and firmer than expected, so focus on landing areas and controlling spin to avoid long or downhill putts.

Elevation changes and crosswinds are common on a hilly layout, so take club selection carefully and rely on GPS distances to adjust for uphill or downhill shots.

Make use of the GPS-enabled carts for precise yardages and hole strategy, especially on long par 4s and par 5s where distance management is key.
