Playing Tips

The course is short but features relatively narrow fairways, so prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than sheer distance.

Fast bentgrass greens demand careful approach shots and conservative putting—leave yourself below the hole and be wary of fast downhill slants.

The long 9th hole needs thoughtful club selection and a precise approach since its length can quickly turn a par into a bogey if you miss the green.

Highland exposure means wind can affect club selection and ball flight, so always check the flag and adjust yardages for wind and slight elevation changes.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Being a highland course, temperatures are generally cooler than the lowlands; mornings can be cool or foggy, summers pleasant but changeable, winters are cold with possible snow, and wind can be variable and gusty at times.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through autumn (May–October), with autumn (October–November) especially attractive for fall foliage.
