Playing Tips

Six ponds come into play on seven holes so prioritize accuracy off the tee and consider laying up rather than challenging water hazards.

Bentgrass greens hold approach shots well but can be fast and subtle, so use controlled iron shots and pay close attention to green breaks when putting.

The hilly terrain produces frequent elevation changes so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots and factor in roll on approach shots.

Winds can be variable and gusty on exposed ridgelines, so check wind direction before each tee shot and consider a lower trajectory in stronger breezes.

The course rewards shot placement and a reliable short game, so focus on positioning into the greens rather than simply trying to overpower holes.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the most pleasant temperatures and stable conditions, while the June rainy season and the hot, typhoon-prone midsummer are best avoided.
