Elevation

Drops 82 ft from its high point to its low: 1,447 ft down to 1,365 ft above sea level. Hole for hole, the 1st gives up 35 ft tee to green and the 13th climbs 22 ft.

Across the card the elevation is worth 29 yards less than the measured yardage.

Plays-like is a geometric adjustment and nothing more: one yard of playing distance per yard of tee-to-green elevation change, measured off public elevation data. It takes no account of wind, lie, temperature or how a falling ball stops, so it is not a club recommendation. Mapped yardage totals 6,741 against the 6,734 on the card. Elevation: USGS 3DEP (3DEP-1m).
