What is considered a good score at Ferrymead?

With a course rating of 70 and par 29, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 29 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

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

Ferrymead 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.
