The course stretches from 6,000 yards on the forward tees to 6,330 yards from the back tees, providing varied options for golfers.

What to Expect
Expect a solid test of golf, especially if you're playing from the back tees, where you'll need to manage your distances carefully. With a good mix of longer par 4s and some challenging par 3s, it's a course that suits players with a mid to low handicap but remains enjoyable for higher handicappers as well. Watch out for the water hazards on a few holes—they can quickly add strokes if you're not careful. Good course management and club selection will be your best allies here, particularly on those tricky approach shots to the greens, which are often guarded.
