What to Expect
When you step onto the first tee, expect a course that plays reasonably well for golfers with a range of handicaps, though it may challenge those with a higher index. As you navigate the layout, keep an eye on water hazards and strategically placed bunkers that can turn a good round into a tricky endeavor. Don't underestimate the importance of club selection on the longer holes; you might want to take an extra club when the flag's tucked away. The greens are generally receptive and well-rolled, which rewards good putting, so practice your short game to lower your score.
