Tee Insight:This course tests steady tee-to-green play on a mix of par fours where long ones punish misses and short par threes offer birdie looks but overall slope demands precision to avoid bogey traps. Frequent decisions balance aggression on reachables against safety on stretch holes raising scoring risk from wayward drives.
