Playing Tips

Although the course is relatively short (6,025 yd), the mountainous, rolling layout rewards accuracy and smart course management more than raw distance.

Expect frequent elevation changes—adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots and allow extra club for shots into elevated greens.

Many holes are exposed to Pacific breezes, so check wind direction carefully on every tee and approach and play conservative lines when wind is gusty.

Zoysia (Koma) greens tend to be firm with subtle breaks, so aim for the center of the green and prioritize two-putts over attacking tight pins; soft spikes are recommended for traction.
