Playing Tips

The par-72 layout stretches to roughly 6,815 yards so combining distance with accuracy off the tee will make approaching greens easier.

Bentgrass greens are generally smooth and can be quick, so prioritize precise approach shots and be prepared to adjust for faster putt speeds in warm months.

Expect coastal sea breezes and variable crosswinds on exposed holes, and factor wind direction into club selection on all longer shots.

The course features a relaxed, roomy routing that accommodates many skill levels, but smart course management and conservative play on longer holes are rewarded.
