Which Tees Should You Play?

Handicap 0-10: Blue (3,324 yards, 35.6/130)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 2 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 1 (par 5, 535 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: White (3,162 yards, 34.9/125)
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.
