Playing Tips

Expect and plan for strong seaside winds—use lower, controlled shots into the wind and allow the wind to carry the ball downwind.

The flat dune terrain yields generally wide fairways, so keeping tee shots in play often produces straightforward approach angles.

Some holes are long across the 27‑hole layout, so bring a reliable long club and trust your long‑iron or fairway woods.

Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards guard many approach lines, so favour the centre of the green when accuracy is in doubt.

The bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be quick and true, so focus on speed control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As a seaside course it often experiences strong and shifting sea breezes, especially in the afternoon; summers are warm and humid while winters are cold with possible snowfall, so wind is the dominant on-course factor.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly May–October) is best for pleasant sea breezes and full course access; winters can bring cold weather and snow.
