Playing Tips

The greens are known to be fast and subtle—play one club more into slopes and prioritize lag putting to avoid three-putts.

The strategic layout rewards tee accuracy over raw distance, so favor placement to avoid tree-lined rough and hazard trouble.

Account for elevation on uphill and downhill holes—adjust club selection because the ball can carry slightly farther at around 600 m.

Exposed highland holes can be affected by crosswinds, so check wind direction at the tee and play conservatively when breezy.
