Playing Tips

Favor accuracy off the tee rather than bombing it, as fairways are lined with mature red pines and interspersed ponds that penalize errant drives.

The course has gentle undulations and modest elevation changes so pay attention to club selection for approach shots and allow for subtle uphill or downhill adjustments.

Several holes incorporate ponds as strategic hazards, so play to the safer side of the green when the pin is tucked near water instead of aggressively chasing flags.

Greens are bentgrass with moderate speed and subtle breaks, so aim for the center of the putting surface and take conservative reads to avoid three‑putts.
