Managed and generally smooth; expect 4.5-hour rounds at peak with caddie options keeping groups on track.
Upscale, energetic, and PGA-branded with a welcoming—but not stuffy—resort feel.
Collared shirt required, standard resort/club attire; no denim or gymwear.
The greens’ bold contours create massive, creative two-putts even for skilled putters—practice distance control and uphill pace.
Broad fairways forgive missed tee shots, but exact wedge play pays off as the pressure rises coming into dynamic, multi-tiered greens.
Expect swirling breezes across open fairways; build confidence with every club in your bag, especially hybrid and long iron for the par 3s.
