What to Expect
Expect a relaxed round that's great for golfers with a variety of handicaps, though those with a mid-range handicap will find it particularly enjoyable. Pay close attention to your approach shots; the greens can have subtle breaks that might not be apparent at first glance. Be mindful of the water hazards on a few of the holes, especially if you're playing from the back tees, as they can turn a good round into a challenging one. Bring your best short game, as the course's well-kept greens often call for precision on your chips and putts.
