Men's Tees
Tee Insight:This course delivers repeating short par four comfort zones offset by punishing long par fives and par fours that spike scoring trouble through poor distance management. Forward play tempts birdies on mild holes but demands conservative setups on tough stretches to guard against blowup numbers.
