Who Should Play Here?

Beginner Playable

Beginners will find the course manageable with wide fairways on the front nine and forward tees offering a playable 6,200-yard option. The practice facilities are well-suited for pre-round preparation.

Play from the forward tees (6,200 yards)
Use the practice green to acclimate to the putting surfaces
Focus on accuracy over distance on par-4s

Intermediate Recommended

Intermediate players will appreciate the strategic layout, particularly on the back nine where accuracy off the tee is critical. Holes like the par-5 15th offer scoring opportunities with well-placed fairway bunkers.

Prioritize fairway contact on the back nine
Take advantage of the par-3 17th for a confidence-building birdie
Use the chipping area to refine short game techniques

Advanced Recommended

Advanced players will be challenged by the championship tees (7,100 yards) and the course's USGA slope rating of 132. The 17th hole's island green and the 15th's narrow fairway demand precision.
