Playing Tips

Fairways are generally wide but accuracy off the tee is rewarded because tree-lined corridors and strategically placed bunkers penalize wayward drives.

Approach shots require careful club selection since bentgrass greens can be firm and subtly undulating, so prioritize pace and the correct starting line.

Many holes follow natural highland terrain with modest elevation changes, so account for uphill and downhill lies and consider taking one extra club on uphill approaches.

Uniquely shaped bunkers often protect landing areas and greens, so play conservatively to avoid difficult recoveries from deep or awkward bunker positions.

Wind can pick up on exposed, higher-elevation holes—check conditions and favor controlled, lower trajectory shots when breezy.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The course sits in a highland area with clear, cool air; summers are generally pleasant, mornings and evenings can be noticeably cooler, winters bring snow, and wind can be stronger on exposed holes.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (May–October) offers the most comfortable conditions and beautiful highland colors, while deep winter is usually snowy and less suitable for play.
