Playing Tips

The course plays long at 6,845 yards so choose tees and club selection carefully to avoid very long approach shots on the par‑73 layout.

Many fairways are lined with pine and birch trees, so keeping tee shots straight and avoiding the rough will save strokes.

Ponds and creeks come into play on several holes—play conservatively around the creek that guards the long par‑6 to minimize big numbers.

Take advantage of the additional ladies’ tees and the availability of two‑ and four‑seater carts to pace your round and manage distance for mixed groups.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive, so focus on hitting the correct tier and factor in subtle breaks and morning dew when putting.
