What is considered a good score at Garden Hill?

With a course rating of 70 and par 65, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 65 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

What type of course is Garden Hill 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.
