Playing Tips

The course is relatively short so accuracy and tee placement are more important than raw distance.

Many holes feature doglegs where laying up to the correct angle is often smarter than trying to cut the corner.

Bentgrass greens are subtly undulating, so focus on leaving your approach shots below the hole and expect tricky reads.

Elevation changes are generally modest, but wind can influence club selection—check conditions before each shot.

Soft spikes only are required, and well-maintained greens allow precise putting so take time to read the breaks.
