FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Burning Tree Club and what to expect.
Burning Tree Club is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The 127.0 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 74.1 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6370 yards. The back tees extend to 7040.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.1 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 7040.0 yards, it requires solid mid-to-long iron play.
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.
The combination of a slope rating of 127.0 and yardage reaching 7040.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
