FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about #1
Get answers to common questions about playing #1 and what to expect.
How difficult is #1 for mid-handicap golfers?
#1 presents a demanding test. With a slope of 120, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 37.
What tees should a 15 handicap play at #1?
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
What is considered a good score at #1?
With a course rating of 70 and par 37, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 37 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
How long is #1 and how does yardage affect play?
Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.
What type of course is #1 and how should I play it?
#1 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.
What features make #1 strategically challenging?
The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
