Playing Tips

The overall layout is hilly with notable elevation changes, so carefully judge club selection for uphill and downhill shots.

On the New Course expect demanding hole designs where conservative tee strategy often yields better approach angles than trying to overpower the layout.

The Old Course emulates a classic Scottish style with tighter lines and subtle contours, so prioritize accuracy over distance into landing zones and greens.

Bentgrass greens are maintained to be true but can play firm or quick in warm weather, so control your putting speed and be precise on reads.
