Playing Tips

Fairways are narrow so prioritize accuracy off the tee—consider using a fairway wood or long iron instead of trying to hit driver on every hole.

Greens are often elevated and protected by bunkers, so club up on approach shots to carry hazards and hold the putting surface.

The signature 8th hole “Crane's Neck” features a very narrow approach, so play conservatively and leave yourself a comfortable chip or short pitch if you miss the green.

Zoysia (Kōrai) greens can show grain and change speed with the seasons, so read the grain carefully and trust short putts.

The course is hilly and exposed in places, so check wind direction from elevated tees and adjust club selection accordingly.
