FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing South and what to expect.
South is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The 132.0 slope indicates balanced but noticeable difficulty. The course rating of 75.5 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5666 yards. The back tees extend to 5959.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 75.5 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Stretching to 5959.0 yards from the back tees, distance is less of a barrier than precision.
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 132.0 and yardage reaching 5959.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
