Playing Tips

Account for elevation changes on many holes by adjusting club selection for uphill and downhill shots.

Several holes require carries over water, so prioritize accuracy off the tee and be willing to lay up on tighter carries.

Expect fast greens and focus on leaving approach shots below the hole to give yourself downhill putts and better speed control.

With only 12 short holes, precision and short-game skills usually trump distance—manage risk and play smart rather than long.

Wind in the hills can be shifty, so check conditions at the first tee and consider lower trajectories when breezy.
