Playing Tips

At 7,051 yards and set in hilly terrain, accuracy off the tee is more important than sheer distance to avoid trouble and big numbers.

Account for elevation changes on many approach shots by adjusting club selection for uphill and downhill lies.

The Bentgrass greens were refreshed in 2014 and can play firm and relatively quick, so try to leave approach shots below the hole to reduce uphill putts.

Exposed ridgelines can amplify wind effects, so check wind direction on each tee and consider taking an extra club into a headwind.

Use the 240‑yard driving range and on-site bunker/approach practice areas to dial in distance control and get a feel for green speed before starting your round.
