Which Tees Should You Play?

Quick Guide

Multiply your handicap index by 28 and add it to par. If the result exceeds the total yardage divided by 100, move up one tee.

Handicap 0-10: Black (6,817 yards, 73.1/135)

The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 4 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 1 (par 4, 437 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.

Handicap 10-20: White (5,800 yards, 75/135)

This tee gives you a realistic chance to reach greens in regulation without brutal carries. Course management is key. Identify trouble spots and plan your misses to the safe side. Use the strokes gained data to find where you're leaving shots on the table.

Handicap 20+: Green (4,762 yards, 68.5/126)

From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 14 (78 yards) is a genuine birdie chance. Focus on finding fairways and keeping the ball in play.

Hole 1
Par 4 · 437 yards
Hdcp 1 · Fwd: 354y

Number 1 handicap hole. At 437 yards this is one of the longest par 4s on the course and demands a strong drive.

Hole 14
Par 3 · 140 yards
Hdcp 18 · Fwd: 78y

Hole 3
Par 5 · 567 yards
Hdcp 9 · Fwd: 419y

The longest hole on the course at 567 yards. Reachable in two for scratch golfers but a true three-shot hole for most. The smart play is two accurate shots to within wedge range.

Par 4 · 453 yards
Hdcp 2 · Fwd: 302y

The #2 handicap hole. A 453-yard par 4 that rewards accuracy off the tee.
