Playing Tips

Despite the short overall yardage, the hilly layout and uneven lies demand accurate iron play and careful club selection on approaches.

Fast New Bentgrass greens reward a smooth, controlled putting stroke, so aim for the center of the green and avoid long, risky putts.

Elevation changes can make yardages play significantly longer or shorter, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots.

Several holes sit on exposed ridges where afternoon winds can influence ball flight, so use lower trajectory shots when breezy.

With the course being short, conservative course management and prioritizing hitting the green are more effective than aggressive distance shots, and soft spikes are recommended.
