Major Risks
Hilly Jura terrain Changing elevation and lies make club selection and landing-area control important. Biotopes and penalty areas Green-headed no-play zones and marked penalty areas punish a careless line.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm the active blue markers and current course notices. Use conservative targets where elevation changes the effective carry. Keep biotopes, penalty areas and boundary lines outside the preferred miss. Choose the next-shot angle before attacking the green. Position through varied terrain
