Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.
What type of course is Waiuku and how should I play it?
Waiuku 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.
