With a slope rating that adjusts with the tees, it’s a course that can be both rewarding and punishing, depending on how you approach it.
What to Expect
When playing the South Course, aim for precision over power, especially given its strategic layout. With a slope rating that can be challenging, it’s suited for golfers of all handicaps, but those with a 10-20 handicap might find the experience just right. Pay attention to the wind, which can shift quickly, and make sure to plan your approach shots carefully—there are several bunkers that can catch an errant ball. Also, don't underestimate the importance of keeping your ball on the fairways; the Bermuda rough can be thicker than it seems and tricky to play out of.
