What tees should a 15 handicap play at C?

What type of course is C and how should I play it?
The course follows a traditional Oceanfront 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.
