Which Tees Should You Play?

Quick Guide

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: Black Tees (7,021 yards, 74.2/148)

The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 4 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 4 (par 4, 454 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.

Handicap 10-20: White / Blue Hybrid (5,974 yards, 75.5/144)

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 Tees (4,771 yards, 68.8/123)

From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 14 (99 yards) is a genuine birdie chance. Focus on finding fairways and keeping the ball in play.

Hole 4

Par 4 · 454 yards

Hdcp 1 · Fwd: 299y

Number 1 handicap hole. At 454 yards this is one of the longest par 4s on the course and demands a strong drive.

Hole 14

Par 3 · 155 yards

Hdcp 18 · Fwd: 99y

The easiest hole on the course and a genuine scoring opportunity. At 155 yards from the back tees, take dead aim at the centre of the green.

Hole 17

Par 5 · 585 yards

Hdcp 4 · Fwd: 453y

Par 4 · 395 yards

Hdcp 2 · Fwd: 242y

The #2 handicap hole. A 395-yard par 4 that rewards accuracy off the tee.
