Intermediate Recommended

Mid-handicap golfers will appreciate the strategic variety between the short front nine and longer back nine with water hazards. The course tests approach shots and course management without punishing mistakes too severely, making it ideal for building confidence.

Advanced Playable

Low-handicap golfers will find the course manageable but may lack sufficient challenge with no bunkers and relatively straightforward routing. The 120 slope rating indicates moderate difficulty, though championship tees at 6160 yards provide adequate length for skilled players.
