FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing North and what to expect.
North presents a demanding test. The 131.0 slope indicates balanced but noticeable difficulty. The course rating of 74.2 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6170 yards. The back tees extend to 7001.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.2 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.
Stretching to 7001.0 yards from the back tees, approach shot length becomes a consistent scoring factor.
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. 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 131.0 and yardage reaching 7001.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
