Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is essential, particularly on the renovated East Course where fairways are tighter and bunkering is more strategic.

The West Course offers wider fairways and rewards length, but subtle elevation changes make approach angles and club selection important.

Bentgrass greens are typically quick and true—favor controlled, short approach shots to leave makeable putts rather than long lag putts.

Being near the coast, expect variable sea breezes that will affect club selection on exposed holes, so check wind direction on every tee.
