Which Tees Should You Play?
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: White (5,906 yards, 67.8/114)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 4 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 5 (par 5, 504 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: White (5,906 yards, 67.8/114)
