FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Forfar and what to expect.
Forfar is regarded as a strategically complex layout. With a slope of 125.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 69.8 reflects on scoring relative to par 69.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5802 yards. The back tees extend to 6170.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 69.8 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.
Measuring 6170.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
Forfar 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.
The combination of a slope rating of 125.0 and yardage reaching 6170.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
