Playing Tips

The overall length (7,190 yards) rewards distance but demands accuracy, so prioritize fairway placement over maximum power off the tee.

As a forest-style layout with tree-lined fairways, errant tee shots often leave blocked or awkward approach angles, making accuracy essential.

Many holes play long so plan for long irons or hybrids into the greens and be prepared to lay up on par-5s when the carry is risky.

Bentgrass greens are typically smooth and can be quick in cooler seasons, so focus on controlling approach spin and putting pace.

Being near the coast, expect variable sea breezes that can change club selection, especially on exposed holes and late-afternoon rounds.
