When I was looking through my handicap report to answer JB's question, it got me thinking - is there a type of course that you've found tends to suit your game more than others?
Looking at the courses that I've had the lowest differentials, I seem to do better on "second shot" courses. I'm pretty confident in my irons, so courses that give you some room to work with off the tee but require more precise shots into greens tend to be the ones that I'll put low numbers up on. A course that I think suits my game pretty well is the Ranch, where we played Regional Rivalry. There's a lot of trouble around that course, but very few holes where you set up on the tee and feel a lump in your throat. True Blue is another one that comes to mind, though that's even more open off the tee.
I've also found that I've played well at a lot of seaside course that I've played. I'm not bothered a ton by wind, unless it's really up high.
