FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Executive

Get answers to common questions about playing Executive and what to expect.

How difficult is Executive for mid-handicap golfers?

Executive is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The 120 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 31.

What tees should a 15 handicap play at Executive?

A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.

What is considered a good score at Executive?

With a course rating of 70 and par 31, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 31 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

How long is Executive and how does yardage affect play?

At a full length of 6500 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.

What type of course is Executive and how should I play it?

Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. 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.

What features make Executive strategically challenging?

The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
