Tee Insight:This course repeatedly tests players with medium par fours where strong drives unlock short approaches but misses raise bogey risks, alongside mixed par fives offering birdie pressure through long second shots and short par threes demanding exact irons. Back nine brings slightly higher trouble from its slope structure.
