What tees should a 15 handicap play at El Diablo?

What is considered a good score at El Diablo?

With a course rating of 70 and par 27, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 27 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.

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

El Diablo is designed as a Parkland layout. 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.
