Tee Insight:This course delivers constant iron pressure through packed par fours and probing par fives that risk bogeys on key tough spots. Smart drives set up scoring but misses amplify trouble on low handicap tests.This plays like a fairway hunter's exam with approach risks building score gaps fast.
