What is considered a good score at Bishop?

With a course rating of 70 and par 73, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 73 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

How long is Bishop and how does yardage affect play?

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

Bishop is designed as a Links 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.
