Playing Tips

The tree-lined outcourse rewards accurate tee shots—prioritize direction over distance to avoid trouble in the rough and among the pines.

Several incourse holes feature ponds and creeks near landing areas and greens, so play conservatively when water comes into play and favor safe layups when needed.

Large bentgrass one-greens require precise distance control and careful reads of subtle breaks, so aim to leave approaches below the hole for an uphill putt when possible.

As a hilly 7,134-yard course, elevation changes and long carries matter—adjust club selection for uphill/downhill shots and account for breeze on exposed holes by keeping a lower ball flight if windy.
