What tees should a 15 handicap play at La Duquesa?

What is considered a good score at La Duquesa?

With a course rating of 70 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.

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

La Duquesa 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.
