FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about 1st/2nd

Get answers to common questions about playing 1st/2nd and what to expect.

How difficult is 1st/2nd for mid-handicap golfers?

From a scoring perspective, 1st/2nd challenges consistency. The 120 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.

What tees should a 15 handicap play at 1st/2nd?

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 1st/2nd?

With a course rating of 70 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.

How long is 1st/2nd and how does yardage affect play?

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

What type of course is 1st/2nd 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 1st/2nd 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.
