Tee Insight:This course feels like a steady test of wedge accuracy and short game touch, where tough short par fours create bogey pressure if approaches stray. Back nine brings slightly higher risk on its key par five and par fours.This course feels like a steady test of wedge accuracy and short game touch, where tough short par fours create bogey pressure if approaches stray.
