Most play a course or two in their area predominantly, so my question is how long is it and how far do you play it from?
 
Both are just over 6500 and except for league I play it from the 6500
 
6510 from the blues, 6960 from the blacks. I play a split set of those two.
 
Normally around 6400 yards.

Sweetbriar Legacy plays just over 6500 from the tees we usually play
 
Moose Ridge in South Lyon, MI. From the tips is 6892, but play from the blues at 6504.
 
7006 from the tips, I play it at 6700 from the blues
 
We play a pretty good number of courses in the area, but generally I play between 6,200 and 6,500 with the latter pushing it for me unless it is mid summer with lots of roll.

7184 from the Tips. 6236 from the whites where I play it.
 
7005 yards from the blues at my new home course. I play from the Whites at 6536.
 
Stonebrook Golf Club, my home course, is 6,891 from the tips, 6,514 Blue, 6,156 White, 5,610 Grey, 5,137 Red, 3,859 Green. I mostly play the Whites, although that 5,610 Senior tee is beckoning. LOL Course/Slope Rating from White is 70.5/126.
 
No home course, but I jump around the same group of courses often. They usually range from 6700-7000.
 
About 6100 from whites (course rating 70) and 6300 from blues (course rating 71) with quite narrow fairways and small greens. I typically average the same from either tees but generally play the whites because all tournaments play from there.
 
I play 2 courses.

Algonkian: 6909
Brambleton: 6648
 
6200 from the whites, 6700 from the blues.

I normally play the white. Three out the four blue par three play at 200+. Makes for a long day if the long irons aren't on.
 
Painted Hills is a par 70 with six par threes and four par fives so we lose about 400 yards from the extra par threes. 5,831 blues, 5398 whites, 4829 golds and 4314 reds. I play all four from time to time to see the whole course, but generally Blues 30%, Whites 60%. Golds 10%. I play the reds sometimes on Jacqui and my "date nights", although those are usually from the gold when we play the same tee.
 
7200 74.6/146 from the tips. Very tight, target course. No par 5 are reachable in two, two of the par 3 are 200+, one is about 180 playing two to three clubs down hill to a wide but short front to back green, one par 3 that is always a partial wedge into a three tier green. Have to score on par 4s
 
Since it's moved to par 70 this year, we have:

Gold 72.6/130/6710
Silver 70.8/126/6342
Bronze 69.5/124/6070
White M 67.0/121/5544 W 73.9/134
Green W 71.9/130/5223

Most members play the gold or silver tees and most tournaments are from the silvers (60 and over can usually play from the bronze).

I play the silvers (I have no business playing a par 70 at 6700 yards), but have played a few of the golds from time to time. There are a few gold tees which give a different view or just make a hole crazy hard/long so I'd like to play a full round from there at some point next year.
 
The course where my league is played is 6,237 (70.4/124) from the Blue tees and 5,849 (68.3/122) from the White tees. That's why I stink there. I'm much better on longer courses...on the internet.
 
Usually play either the Whites or Blues (between 6-6400)
 
My home course is 5,655 yards, par 70. It's 2 minutes away by car so I tend to play there a lot, plus it's priced great.

It might be short yardage wise, but it's *very* hilly, which makes it feel like it plays a lot longer.
 
Between 5700 reds and 6900 blues. We play from them all depending on how we are feeling unless we are posting for HC where we play from the whites (6700)
 
The course I play a bunch is on the shorter side and is right at 6000 from the whites and 65XX from the blues. Makes for an enjoyable round haha
 
Public course I belong to is...

Blue: 7225
White: 6533
Gold: 6010
Red: 5270

Usually play whites or a mix of white and blue.

Private Course I belong to is...

Black: 6610
Blue: 6424
White: 5869
Green: 5668
Yellow: 4473

Always play the black. That's where all the tournaments are played from so I liked to get a feel from it from there. Not overly long but it's all about your second shot and you can't miss a whole lot from the fairway as it's completely tree lined.
 
The four at my home club are 6933, 7058, 6754, and 7239 from the tips. I play one forward of the tips (the blues) on each of them at 6320, 6550, 6184, 6777.
