FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing North and what to expect.
North presents a demanding test. With a slope of 129.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 74.3 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5693 yards. The back tees extend to 6171.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.3 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 6171.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
North 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.
The combination of a slope rating of 129.0 and yardage reaching 6171.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
