FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Sidmouth and what to expect.
From a scoring perspective, Sidmouth challenges consistency. The 116.0 slope rating keeps it accessible for developing players. The course rating of 65.8 reflects on scoring relative to par 66.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 3814 yards. The back tees extend to 5101.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 65.8 and par 66, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 66 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 5101.0 yards, it emphasizes accuracy and wedge play.
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.
The combination of a slope rating of 116.0 and yardage reaching 5101.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
