The club features two well-maintained forested courses—East and West—offering a blend of wide fairways and strategic challenges surrounded by mature trees. The East Course is relatively flat with expansive fairways ideal for powerful drives, while the West Course provides a more technical layout with shorter holes, natural obstacles, and varied terrain.

Playing Tips

The East Course is relatively flat with wide fairways—take advantage of driver distance but prioritize accuracy to avoid tree-lined rough.

The West Course is shorter and more technical with natural obstacles, so focus on club selection and conservative strategy rather than overpowering tees.

Many holes are heavily tree-lined and forested, rewarding low, controlled trajectories and precise shot placement into the fairway and greens.

Greens are bentgrass and generally receptive with subtle undulations—aim for conservative approaches to leave manageable putts rather than attacking tight pin positions.

The club is a walking, caddie-assisted facility—use your caddie’s local knowledge for wind checks, yardages and green reading, and manage your pace to conserve energy.
