Playing Tips

The course’s length (7091 yd) and several long par-4s reward accurate drives, so prioritize placement over sheer distance to avoid narrow fairways and penal rough.

Hilly terrain creates frequent uphill and downhill approach shots, so adjust club selection (take more club uphill, less downhill) and favor controlled mid- to long-iron shots.

Bentgrass greens are maintained at moderate speed with subtle undulations, so spend time reading breaks and focus on lag putts when below the hole.

Many holes run through tree-lined corridors and natural hazards, so conservative tee placement and course management often yield better scores than aggressive lines.

Wind can be variable on exposed ridges, especially in autumn and during typhoon season, so check conditions before play and adjust aim and club choice accordingly.
