Playing Tips

The course’s relatively modest yardage and strategic layout reward accurate tee shots and precise iron play rather than relying on long drives.

Expect noticeable elevation changes—club up for uphill approaches and allow for extra carry and rollout on downhill shots.

Mountain winds can be changeable and gusty, so check conditions on the tee and keep trajectories lower when it’s breezy.

Bentgrass greens on a highland course tend to run firm and can be quick in cool weather, so focus on leaving approach shots below the hole and respect subtle slopes when putting.

Play is all-self and through-play with carts and limited clubhouse services, so dress in layers for cooler temperatures and bring any needed refreshments since only kitchen cars are available.
