How the club plays

  • Players are welcome to walk the course.
  • Pull trolleys are available as an alternative to electric carts.
  • The club says that on one par five a golfer may want an extra club to hit into the wind that blows from the right.
  • The club describes the intervening lake and head-on wind on one par three as requiring steady nerve and correct club selection.
