Men's Tees
Tee Insight:This course tests players with back-to-back par four battles needing straight tee shots and dialed irons, plus long par fives that tempt aggressive plays but risk blow-up scores if off line. Front loaded difficulty amps early scoring pressure while back offers slight relief yet still punishes poor placement.
