Playing Tips

The hilly layout rewards accurate tee shots—favor position over distance to avoid awkward uphill or downhill approach angles.

Many holes run along ridges where wind can swirl unexpectedly, so check the flag and adjust club selection for both wind and elevation changes.

The renovated single large bentgrass greens can be firm and fast, so prioritize lag putting and careful speed control to avoid three-putts.

At 7,236 yards with relatively tight landing areas, the course demands strategic play—choose to lay up when the risk from a long tee shot outweighs the potential reward.
