Playing Tips

Wide fairways and generous distances allow you to be aggressive off the tee, but always plan your second shot since some holes demand accurate approaches.

The Out Course is largely flat with ponds framing landing areas and approaches, so prioritize tee placement to avoid water trouble on par 4s and par 5s.

The shorter In Course rewards precise club selection and touch on approach shots because of its undulating greens and subtle tiers.

Expect the Middle Course to test your course management with hills and doglegs—favor position play and layups rather than always trying to carry hazards.

Greens are bentgrass with noticeable contours, so read subtle breaks carefully and adjust speed for daily conditions, especially after rain or in cooler weather.
