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: TEE I (6,302 yards, 71.1/132)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 3 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 5 (par 4, 395 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: TEE III (5,197 yards, 65.6/119)
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+: TEE V (4,268 yards, 62.1/106)
From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 9 (99 yards) is a genuine birdie chance. Focus on finding fairways and keeping the ball in play.
Hole-by-Hole Highlights
Number 1 handicap hole. At 395 yards it requires two solid shots to find the green.
The easiest hole on the course and a genuine scoring opportunity. At 201 yards from the back tees, take dead aim at the centre of the green.
The longest hole on the course at 526 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.
The shortest par 3 at 165 yards. A wedge or short iron for most players. A birdie opportunity if you find the green.
The #2 handicap hole. A 350-yard par 4 that rewards accuracy off the tee.
