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: Tournament (7,011 yards, 74.8/140)
The back tees offer the full test. Attack the 5 par 5s for birdie opportunities and respect the #1 handicap hole 7 (par 4, 427 yards). Use the shot dispersion model to find optimal targets on every approach.
Handicap 10-20: Regular (5,928 yards, 70/133)
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+: Forward (5,146 yards, 64.9/115)
From here the course becomes about accuracy, not power. The short par 3 on hole 16 (98 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 427 yards this is one of the longest par 4s on the course and demands a strong drive.
The easiest hole on the course and a genuine scoring opportunity. At 132 yards from the back tees, take dead aim at the centre of the green.
The longest hole on the course at 619 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.
