Playing Tips

Wide fairways reward conservative tee shots so favor accuracy over trying to overpower the course.

Gentle elevation changes mean club selection on approach shots is important—account for uphill and downhill lies when choosing clubs.

Bentgrass greens tend to be true and can be quicker in dry conditions, so leave approach shots below the hole when possible for better birdie opportunities.

Mature red pines line many holes and will penalize wayward shots, so aim toward the safest part of the landing area rather than strictly to distance.

Winds are often light to moderate but can pick up on exposed holes, so check conditions and adjust club selection accordingly.
