Course Design
Sited on gently rolling land, the course offers a diverse mix of holes, long , short Par 4, dogleg right, dogleg left and some are pretty challenging. Plenty of water hazards found here and usually require carry for the teeshot. Mind you, the rough will tease your game, make sure you stay away from them. Landing area are quite generous in whole. It measures 6,400 yards from Blue tee which is just good for leisure player or if you are looking for more comfortable, pull back to the 5,900 yards white.
