FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Champions

What tees should a 15 handicap play at Champions?

Stretching to 6500 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
What type of course is Champions and how should I play it?
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. 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 Champions 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.
