Featuring three distinct nine-hole courses—West, East, and South—each offers a unique challenge and variety for golfers. The West Course welcomes players with a wide fairway ideal for powerful drives but demands accuracy as you progress. The East Course features many downhill shots and a tricky green area that requires strategic play. The South Course is dotted with ponds, providing an engaging layout that keeps players interested until the final hole. Soft spikes are recommended for play on its bentgrass greens.

Playing Tips

West Course has wide fairways that invite drivers off the tee but demand increasing accuracy as the holes progress.

On the East Course many holes play downhill so adjust club selection (often one less club) and factor in run on approaches.

The South Course is dotted with ponds so favor conservative lines and layups to avoid water, especially on closing holes.

Bentgrass greens tend to roll true and can firm up in summer, so focus on pace control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Because the layout is hilly and some tees are exposed, account for elevation changes and wind when choosing clubs.
