Who Should Play Here?

Beginner Playable

Beginners can play Potowomut on forward tees (Red or White W) where the course is more forgiving at 5649-6020 yards. However, strategic elements like exposed par 3s and creek hazards require basic course management skills.

Play Red or White (W) tees for more manageable yardage
Be prepared for uphill/downhill club selection challenges on holes like the 3rd
Take advantage of walking policy to pace yourself

Intermediate Recommended

The 2nd hole 'Little Bend' tests approach play with creek hazard
Par 3 6th requires precision on narrow green with deep bunkers
Use tee box variety to practice different shot distances

Advanced Recommended

Advanced players will appreciate the classic Walter Johnson/William Bradley Booth design with strategic complexity. Championship tees at 6380 yards offer proper challenge with slope rating of 128.
