Golfers can choose from four tee options—Blue, White, Gold, or Black/Blue—making the course accessible for varying skill levels.

What to Expect
Expect a course that demands accuracy more than length; it’s tailored for golfers of varying skill levels but can provide a solid challenge for low handicappers due to its strategic layout. Watch out for the tricky greens, which can be quick and undulating, rewarding those who putt with precision. If you're a mid to high handicapper, manage your shots carefully to avoid the penal rough and tree-lined fairways. Bring a versatile club selection to handle the changes in elevation and the occasional sea breeze that can surprise you on the back nine.
