Playing Tips

The course is long so prioritize fairway accuracy over risky distance plays on par-5s to avoid big numbers.

As a forest-style layout, tree-lined fairways reduce steady crosswinds but can create tricky sightlines, so position drives to give clear approach angles.

Water hazards and well-placed bunkers demand strategic club selection into landing zones rather than always attacking the pin.

Spacious bentgrass greens have subtle undulations, so focus on speed control and aim for the center to avoid long, testing putts.

Gentle elevation changes mean you should adjust club selection slightly on uphill or downhill approaches to get your carry right.
