What tees should a 15 handicap play at Sun Lakes?

What is considered a good score at Sun Lakes?

With a course rating of 70 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.

How long is Sun Lakes and how does yardage affect play?

Stretching to 6500 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.

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

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.

What features make Sun Lakes strategically challenging?

The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
