FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Parkstone and what to expect.
Parkstone presents a demanding test. A slope rating of 139.0 suggests a moderately demanding round. The course rating of 71.5 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5937 yards. The back tees extend to 6298.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 71.5 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.
Measuring 6298.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
Parkstone 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 139.0 and yardage reaching 6298.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
