Do you think 6,500 yds is a long course?

[*Range Rat]

Simple straightforward question, don't complicate it please.
I know it depends on elevation changes, uphill, downhill, etc.
Just, in general, when you see a course yardage listed at 6,500 yds do you think 'That's a long course' or not.
Thanks to all with honest responses.

For me, that would probably be my upper limit. I’d consider that a decent knock.

For me, 6500 yards is a bit more than I am comfortable playing. Once I get past the driver, my club distances drop off drastically. I don't like having to hit a fairway or hybrid into every par 4, so yes I consider 6500 long. But that's based on my personal game.

In general do I consider 6500 long? No. I know there are other golfers out there who will consider that short, so it's good for the course to have the capability of offering multiple options for both of us.

That's a long course.

 

[e1iterate]

No. It’s about perfect for me.

 

[RealPretendPsychic]

For me, yes. In the grand scheme of things, no.

 

[cmgolf]

For me, yes. In the grand scheme of things, no.

For me , it a standard back tee course

 

[Desmond]

In the general scheme of golf, no.

For me, I need to put the driver out there about 240-250 to have fun (more birdie opportunities). I prefer to play 6500 and am working to poke it out there consistently with all clubs.

I voted personally, which is no, but do I think it’s long for 95% of golfers? Yes.

 

[McLovin]

no, that is my sweet spot. 6,300 - 6,700 depending on other conditions.

 

[Duffer Waldorf]

No, but it's getting close, for me.

 

[gonyr]

It's long, but not ridiculously long. Basically equal to the back tees where I normally play.

 

[links_slayer]

It’s hovering around the border but I’ll say no.

 

[Nate<80]

I think 6,500 yards is just right!

 

[bmongi1]

6500 is toward the upper length of my comfort zone but I wouldn't consider it long by normal standards.

 

[Nate]

No.

 

[Scott F]

If 6500 is from the regular men’s tees, it shouldn’t be too long for me if I can move up from them to the senior tees.

 

[Stemmy66]

Voted no but consider this the top end of comfort for me...

 

[Stemmy66]

No.

Big time.... back tees for you at LTO IV 2021

Edgewood 6,800 from backs. Let’s do it!

 

[Golfers Anonymous]

Yes, but I’m a short hitter so.....

 

[kiwichris]

But I can still make it longer and harder by playing it

 

[SunnyWalker]

couple hundred more than I would want to play

 

[campilobaxter]

No, it’s not long, but it’s my upper limit.
