Tee Insight:This course delivers repeating iron tests on abundant short par threes mixed with speedy par fours that reward safe tee play, but scoring pressure builds on the few longest holes flagged hardest by indexes where bogeys multiply easily.This course plays like a quick-fire precision gauntlet with iron shots ruling most decisions and short game mopping up misses on the indexed trouble spots.
