Member tips for playing a tough golf course!

Our golf course is known—and has long been known—as one of the toughest in the area. We’re extremely fortunate to have a superintendent who keeps our turf healthy, providing the playing conditions you all deserve!

1. Club Down Off the Tee

• Why: Firm fairways mean more rollout.

• Tip: You don’t always need driver. A 3-wood or long iron may get you the same or better position with less risk.

2. Land It Short of the Green

• Why: Balls bounce and roll more than usual.

• Tip: Aim to land your approach shots 5–15 yards short (or even more depending on firmness) and let it release toward the pin.

3. Focus on Trajectory Control

• Why: High shots can get caught in the wind or spin unpredictably.

• Tip: Hit lower, flighted shots—think knockdowns and punch shots—to maintain control and distance predictability.

4. Use the Slopes

• Why: Firm greens won’t hold shots unless you use contours.

• Tip: Read the course like a links—use slopes, banks, and feeder areas to work the ball to your target.

5. Prioritize Position Over Distance

• Why: Firm conditions magnify small misses.

• Tip: Stay on the right side of hazards, fairway bunkers, and slopes even if it means giving up distance.

6. Master Your Short Game

• Why: You’ll miss more greens.

• Tip: Be creative with bump-and-runs, putts from off the green, and low-spinning chips. Don’t always grab the lob wedge.

7. Stay Below the Hole

• Why: Downhill putts on fast greens are deadly.

• Tip: Even if it means a longer uphill putt, favor the low side and give yourself a better chance to control pace.

8. Be Mentally Prepared for Bounces

• Why: Firm conditions mean quirky bounces.

• Tip: Accept it. Good shots might get bad breaks. Stay calm, commit to your plan, and play smart.

Bonus: Dial in Your Yardages on the Range

• Why: Distance control is crucial.

• Tip: Focus on carry yardages, especially with irons and wedges—know how far your ball carries, not rolls.
