Major Risks
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm whether play is on the North or South course; their design, terrain and turf characteristics differ materially. North strategy should account for rolling hills, waterfalls and water-related visual/playing features; South rewards traditional oak-lined positioning. The club’s scorecard states that inside edges of common roadways, fences, private property lines and white stakes define out of bounds. Cart paths are required on all par-3 holes, and the club expects a maximum four-hour pace. Course management notes
