What is considered a good score at Old?

With a course rating of 70 and par 68, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 68 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

What type of course is Old and how should I play it?

Architecturally, it reflects a Links 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.
