Playing Tips

Many holes feature doglegs and elevation changes, so prioritize tee placement over sheer distance to leave comfortable approach angles.

Fairways are relatively narrow—accuracy off the tee is more important than bombing drives to avoid difficult recovery shots.

Surrounding birch forests and terrain often create visual illusions that make yardages deceptive, so adjust club selection for elevation and sightlines.

Being a high-altitude course, the ball will carry a bit farther but also be more affected by crosswinds, so account for wind and carry when planning shots.

Greens are bentgrass and typically moderate in speed, so focus on approach position and careful reads rather than aggressive putts.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Highland climate with cool summers and cold, snowy winters; weather can change quickly and afternoons can bring stronger winds, while summer days are generally clear and dry but occasionally gusty.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly May–October), especially summer and early autumn for comfortable temperatures and colorful foliage; avoid winter when the course is likely snow-covered.
