FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing West and what to expect.
Players often find West technically exacting. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 68.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5554 yards. The back tees extend to 6066.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 68.4 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Stretching to 6066.0 yards from the back tees, distance is less of a barrier than precision.
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.
The combination of a slope rating of 111.0 and yardage reaching 6066.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
