Playing Tips

The front nine is relatively flat with several pond-crossing holes so prioritize accuracy off the tee to keep the ball dry and avoid penalty strokes.

The back nine features noticeable elevation changes so pay close attention to club selection and distance control on approach shots.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but can have subtle contouring, so focus on hitting firm, accurate approaches and read putts carefully.

Several holes have narrower landing corridors lined by pines and trees, so controlled tee shots and course management often beat trying to overpower with the driver.

Use the GPS-equipped carts for exact yardages and, when fairway riding is available from summer 2025, take advantage of closer recovery angles; also be sure to wear soft spikes.
