Tips for Playing Echelon Golf Club
When playing Echelon, pay close attention to the elevation changes, as they significantly impact club selection. Many holes play either uphill or downhill, so factor in an extra club for uphill approaches and often one less for downhill shots. The Bentgrass greens are notoriously fast and undulating, so spend extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their speed and subtle breaks. Don't be afraid to aim for the fat part of the green, especially on longer par-3s and par-4s, to avoid challenging pin positions. Given the course's length and strategic design, it's wise to play from a set of tees that matches your skill level, even if it means moving up a box. This will allow you to enjoy the course more and avoid overly long approaches. Also, keep an eye on the wind, as it can swirl through the valleys and affect shots more than anticipated. Finally, take a moment to appreciate the stunning views and natural beauty; it's part of what makes Echelon such a special golf experience.
