Chatham Hills rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Use a laser rangefinder with a slope feature during practice rounds to understand true carry distances on the hilly terrain. Keep the ball below the hole whenever possible to avoid defensive putting on the fast, sloped greens. Check the wind at the treetops, as the valleys can create deceptive calm at ground level.
