Playing Tips

Several holes feature strategically placed ponds, so prioritize accuracy over distance on tee shots to avoid penalty strokes.

Because the course is hilly, club selection must account for uphill and downhill lies—take one club more for uphill approaches and one less for downhill shots.

Greens are a mix of Bentgrass and Zoysia, so expect faster, firmer putting on Bentgrass surfaces and slower breaks on Zoysia; carefully read subtle undulations.

Carts are GPS-equipped which helps with yardages and pacing, but there is no shop on-site so bring spare balls, tees, and cash for vending machines.
