FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Cottonwood/Silo and what to expect.
From a scoring perspective, Cottonwood/Silo challenges consistency. At 138.0, it provides challenge without being extreme. The course rating of 71.7 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5474 yards. The back tees extend to 6722.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 71.7 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.
At a full length of 6722.0 yards, it balances distance with positional strategy.
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 138.0 and yardage reaching 6722.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
