What tees should a 15 handicap play at North/East?

What is considered a good score at North/East?

With a course rating of 70 and par 69, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 69 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

What type of course is North/East and how should I play it?
