Playing Tips

The course features gentle elevation changes and no blind holes, so prioritize a controlled tee shot to leave a comfortable approach rather than trying to over-hit off the tee.

At nearly 7,000 yards and par 72, the course can play long—longer hitters gain an advantage but conservative layups to preferred yardages will keep scores lower for most players.

Greens are bentgrass and well maintained with moderate undulation, so focus on accurate approach shots and allow the greens to receive the ball rather than attempting overly aggressive pins.

Highland winds and cooler morning temperatures can affect club selection, so check conditions when you start and be ready to club up on downhill or downwind shots.
