FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Mountain and what to expect.
Mountain is regarded as a strategically complex layout. The slope of 150.0 places it firmly in the upper difficulty tier. The course rating of 73.6 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6170 yards. The back tees extend to 6935.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 73.6 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 6935.0 yards, it requires solid mid-to-long iron play.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland 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 150.0 and yardage reaching 6935.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
