Im a 12 from the tips. After watching the flyover 7000 yards on that course sounds like a long day. Most THP events play around 6500 yards, which is where I normally play from. The gold/black combo tees fall in that range and are probably a good test for most of us.

I didn't realize this feature was available in The Grint app. I've been wondering what my course handicap would be when I travel. Must be a pretty difficult course. I go from a 13.4 to a 16 when I select the Blue or Blue/Black tees.
 
I didn’t either. Slope on the course is 140ish so I would say it’s tough. I will be a 13.
 
Yep based on the slope and course rating it seems pretty beefy. My course handicap is 2.5 higher at this course and I doubt I'll even shoot that.
 
Looks like a really nice course though, even though it will be a challenge. It's been on my "hope to play someday" list so I'm pretty excited. Looking forward to it!
 
Me too. Excited to get out there and suffer a bit. Lol.

I usually play the tips every course I play. Playing in tournaments they’re not exactly moving them babies up ya know.
I can handle 7000-7100 but I usually look at par threes. Sometimes the major contributor to length can be tees that are 50 or so yards behind the blues lol. So many par 4 and 5’s that’s okay but I never liked playing par 3’s longer than 210. When they start to get 230-250 I say okay wtf guys. Lol. Some have all the par 4 and 5’s 20 yards back but on par 3’s they crank it up to 60-70 yard and that’s just too big.
Toughest course I’ve played was 7245 and it was too much. Every par 4 played like 475 and tight with deep 4 inch rough. Slope was 155. Ledgerock golf club in Pennsylvania. Holy cow. I don’t think any pro in the world could reach two of the 5’s in 2.
630 uphill the whole way with 160 in to green all carry over a gully.
603 down hill to a max drive of 280 before a gully or if you could carry one 350 then you’d get over gully. Uphill all the way after that
18- 650 down hill big time off the tee but then flat with 150 and in has to be carried due to gully with the last shot it’s up hill big time.
Uphill equals no roll btw. So if someone could carry their ball 350 they’d still have about 300 carry to the greens.

After looking at their yardages and par 3’s I’ll play the gold. 6782. No par 3’s over 202. The tournament tees they love the par 3’s back 30-40 yards and almost all others are the same with a few exceptions.
They play the trick too in order to get their back tees over 7000.

I think it’s fine if all don’t play the same tees. I always like the distance rule. If I’m hitting 5 iron from 200 - which tees do you need to play to also hit 5 iron. if my average drive leaves me with 9 iron then play tees where you’ll have a similar club into the green. When people use handicap it’s skews things. I hate watching guys hit hybrids and 3 woods into greens because no tour on earth has courses long enough where the best in the world are hitting those clubs into par 4’s etc.

I think we played the gold/black at blackstone the last outing?

I didn't hit as long as BB81Smith and Trmpt98, I was like 40-50 yards less than them, and even with the multiple blow up holes on top of sub par putting I stayed under 100 (just barely).

Based on course handicap (16) I'm right on the bubble between Black & Blue for suggested tees.

Gold 0-6
Black 7-16
Blue 16-25
Red 25+
 
I got my outfit all laid out. I’m gonna dawn the knickers for the first time in a while lol. Can’t miss me! White knickers blue shirt white hat and probably arm sleeves. Got some arriving today so I got no clue on which color I’ll rock.
