FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing The Lakes and what to expect.
The Lakes is regarded as a strategically complex layout. At 136.0, it provides challenge without being extreme. The course rating of 73.2 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6564 yards. The back tees extend to 7067.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 73.2 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.
At a full length of 7067.0 yards, it requires solid mid-to-long iron play.
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.
The combination of a slope rating of 136.0 and yardage reaching 7067.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
