FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Dorking

How difficult is Dorking for mid-handicap golfers?

Dorking presents a demanding test. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 66.

What tees should a 15 handicap play at Dorking?

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 Dorking?

With a course rating of 70 and par 66, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 66 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

How long is Dorking and how does yardage affect play?

Stretching to 6500 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.

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

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.

What features make Dorking 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.
