Playing Tips

Pick the appropriate tees and manage distance carefully because the 36-hole layout is long overall, with several long par 4s and 5s.

Bentgrass greens run true and can be quick in warm conditions, so prioritize lag putts and conservative approach shots when unsure.

Highland conditions often bring steady breezes and sudden wind shifts, so check wind at each tee and adjust club selection.

Since carts are allowed on fairways, use them to save energy between holes and consider staying overnight at the on-site hotel to split rounds.

Best Season to Play

Best seasons are summer for cool, comfortable rounds and autumn for stable weather and scenic foliage; avoid the early-summer rainy season and mid-winter when snow can affect play.
