What to Expect
Expect a solid test of golf that caters well to mid-handicap players but can challenge lower handicaps too, given its course rating and slope. Pay attention to your club selection, especially on the longer par 4s where accurate drives are key to avoiding trouble in the rough or hitting into greens that can be tricky to read. The greens tend to run true, but they can be fast, so keep that in mind on downhill putts. Be mindful of the strategic layout around water hazards — planning your approach shots can save you strokes.
