What to Expect
Expect a course that's friendly for a range of handicaps, but plays best for those in the mid to upper range, given its longer yardage from the back tees. Be mindful of the strategic bunkers and water hazards that can catch an errant shot, particularly on the par 3s. Club selection is key, especially on the approach to the greens, which tend to be quite receptive but can be tricky if you're above the hole.
