Playing Tips

The course is a compact 9‑hole par‑27 layout so accuracy on short tee shots matters more than distance.

Significant elevation changes mean you should adjust club selection for frequent uphill and downhill shots.

Fairways are clearly separated and can be narrow in places, so favor conservative tee shots to avoid trouble.

Sea and local winds can be variable from hole to hole, so check wind direction before every shot and factor it into club choice.

Greens tend to be small and influenced by slope, so concentrate on landing your approach on the correct tier and keeping putts low and controlled.
