Tee Selection
Possibly the most important factor in enjoyment of the game is selecting a tee position suitable for one’s skill level. This helps par to be more attainable and assists a new or high-handicap golfer in maintaining their position on the course without undue pressure. This helps a golfer relax, produce better golf shots, and contributes to an overall positive experience for everyone on the course.
Executive Courses offer three tee placements, and Championship Courses offer up to six selections. For new golfers, we recommend starting at the most forward tee. As you improve in the game it is fun to increase your challenge by moving to the middle or back tee placement, and working your way up to a round on one of the
championship courses.
The Executive Courses have been rated for difficulty on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being the friendliest and 4 being the most challenging.
