Playing Tips

Account for elevation changes around the hilly layout by adjusting club selection for uphill and downhill shots.

Aim for the center of the fairway on tee shots because strategic bunkers and red pines penalize wayward drives.

Treat the long 16th with caution and use an accurate long iron or fairway wood to set up the approach over the pond guarding the green.

Expect Bentgrass greens to firm up and run quicker in warm months, so leave approaches below the hole and be conservative on long putts.

Wind can be changeable on exposed, elevated holes so check direction at each tee and adjust aim and club accordingly.

Best Season to Play

Best played from late spring through early autumn (May–October) when greens and fairways are in good condition and seasonal blossoms and foliage enhance the scenery.
