FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Championship Course and what to expect.
Championship Course is regarded as a strategically complex layout. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 70.8 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5600 yards. The back tees extend to 6496.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 70.8 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.
Stretching to 6496.0 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
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 122.0 and yardage reaching 6496.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
