FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing West Herts and what to expect.
Players often find West Herts technically exacting. The 130.0 slope indicates balanced but noticeable difficulty. The course rating of 72.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6138 yards. The back tees extend to 6601.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 72.4 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.
Stretching to 6601.0 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
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.
The combination of a slope rating of 130.0 and yardage reaching 6601.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
