Tee Insight:This course delivers repeating pressure from par fours that demand spot-on approaches to dodge bogeys, with back nine tension building through harder tests that reward steady play over heroics.This course plays like a par four gauntlet where drive-and-iron precision faces constant risk, tougher closing stretch raises bogey odds for any lapse.
