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 (5,448 yards, 72/121)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 2 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 5 (par 5, 477 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: GOLD (5,172 yards, 70.6/119)
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+: RED (4,638 yards, 67.2/115)
From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 3 (69 yards) is a genuine birdie chance. Focus on finding fairways and keeping the ball in play.
