Playing Tips

The course is hilly with noticeable elevation changes, so adjust club selection on uphill and downhill shots to avoid coming up short or overshooting the green.

At 6,837 yards the layout is on the longer side, so long hitters can gain an advantage but conservative tee placements and strategic layups are often rewarded.

Bentgrass greens tend to be smooth and can run quickly in cooler, dry conditions, so take extra time to read subtle breaks and control pace on long putts.

Elevated tees and exposed ridgelines can create variable wind conditions, so check the wind carefully and factor it into both club and shot shape choices.

Carts are equipped with touch-panel GPS for reliable yardages—use them to manage distances and course strategy, and note the course requires soft spikes only.
