What is considered a good score at Codrington?

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.

Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.

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

Codrington 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.
