Tee Insight:This course tests drivers on stretched par fives that invite risk for position and pars alongside par fours with sharp approach demands from handicap pressures. Back nine raises stakes through tougher ratings forcing careful play to avoid blowup scores on key trouble spots.This course plays long and penal where bold drives meet precise irons under repeating difficulty spikes.
