FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Southern Hills Golf Course and what to expect.
Southern Hills Golf Course presents a demanding test. A slope rating of 132.0 suggests a moderately demanding round. The course rating of 67.6 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5040 yards. The back tees extend to 5539.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 67.6 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.
Measuring 5539.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
Southern Hills Golf Course 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.
The combination of a slope rating of 132.0 and yardage reaching 5539.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
