Playing Tips

At 6,847 yards with strategic bunkers and water, prioritize accuracy from the tee over raw distance to keep ball in play.

Undulating fairways demand careful club selection and attention to stance as you’ll often face side or downhill lies.

Bentgrass greens are true and can show subtle breaks, so take extra time to read putts and control speed on approach shots.

White sand bunkers and ponds protect many landing zones and greens, so play conservative lines when hazards come into play.

Exposure to the mountains can produce crosswinds or gusts in the afternoon, so factor wind into club choice on longer holes.
