Playing Tips

This is a very short, compact 7-hole course so prioritize accuracy and course management rather than distance off the tee.

Factor in uphill elevation changes and club up on uphill approaches because shots will play longer than yardage suggests.

Tee shots are best played controlled — avoid big misses as trees and the hotel layout can penalize wayward drives.

Short game and putting are crucial on a compact layout, so focus on solid chipping and lag putting to save strokes.

Check wind and temperature before each shot since highland breezes and cooler, thinner air can alter ball flight and club selection.
