Playing Tips

Because the course uses lightweight Cayman balls that fly about 60% of a normal ball, choose clubs about one to two clubs stronger than you would with a regular ball.

With only nine short holes totaling roughly 1,447 yards, prioritize accuracy, short-game practice, and course management over raw distance.

The bentgrass greens are generally smooth and receptive, so focus on precise speed control and carefully read subtle breaks.

The riverside location can create localized breezes that affect mid- and short-iron approach shots, so check wind direction before each stroke.
