Playing Tips

The front nine fairways have been widened, so be aggressive off the tee there but still prioritize position to set up mid-iron approaches.

The 13th is a notable uphill hole—club up for the longer carry and leave your approach short of any front slopes to avoid difficult recovery putts.

The 16th plays downhill and can reward long hitters, but factor in downhill yardage and possible wind that can push drives farther than expected.

Greens feature subtle but important undulations, so focus on hitting the correct side of the pin and take extra care reading break on longer putts.

Although the course sits on a hillside, elevation changes are moderate so concentrate on trajectory control rather than dramatic club-up decisions.
