Which Tees Should You Play?

Handicap 0-10: Black (7,130 yards, 74.8/140)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 4 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 8 (par 5, 569 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: Blue/White Hybrid (5,918 yards, 68.8/127)

Handicap 20+: Green (4,811 yards, 63.8/111)
From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 4 (106 yards) is a genuine birdie chance. Focus on finding fairways and keeping the ball in play.
