what type of shot does your course favour from the Tee?

[KenL]

Straight down the middle is fine for all holes at my course. No trees but OOB walls and the beach in play.

I strong draw or fade is not something you can get away with over the whole course.

 

[delc]

Our course slightly favours a draw for right-handers, because most of the real bad trouble is on the right. Fortunately for me a slight draw is my natural shot.

For the average club golfer it suits a straight shot - for the longer hitters then a draw for most holes

I think it is pretty neutral and it doesn't really change even if your a big hitter or a short hitter.

1&2 = Fade
4 = Draw
5,6&7 = Fade
9,10,11&12=Draw
14 = Fade
15,16&18 = Draw.

Fortunately I hit a fade with my Driver and a draw with everything else off the tee and the holes that need a draw I normally hit a 3 wood anyway.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Generally a good hit or Ines that land short and run in.

All the trouble is long bar one hole.

The upturned saucer greens throw off any shot with side spin so you have to hit a controlled shot to go close

let me think....

N,N,N,N,F,N,N,N,N,
F,N,N,N,N,F,F,N,N, (is that all 18?)

mmm. I'm beginning to see why I struggle. Whoops...

My other course...

N,N,F,D,D,N,N,N,D
N,D,N,D,N,N,N,D,D

mmm. That explains something...

Fascinating

Not a member at a course, but a course I play fairly regularly is not particularly long and has incredibly tight, tree lined fairways and very small greens. There is only one hole where you can really afford to take a fairway wood. Everything else requires irons off the tee. Makes it a really enjoyable round, not tanking driver off every hole and requires you to think about your distances a lot more!

 

[Blue in Munich]

Mine is fairly neutral, equal number of fade and draw beneficial holes in my opinion although there is sufficient room that if you only hit it one way you can still score well if you think your way round.

 

[tsped83]

Straight. I won't go through 1-18 as that is tedious. Take note.

 

[Capella]

Depends on how far you hit the ball and where you are aiming. But we have out of bounds to the right on the first five holes and then again on the last two, so a real slice is pretty deadly. But any kind of overdraw will get you into tree trouble. Most of the holes are pretty straight, only one long dogleg and that one goes to the right, but most players aren't really long enough off the tee to cut any of it. I would say, the straighter you can hit it, the better.

 

[Dasit]

My course is basically anti-clockwise from 1 to 18, and if you go right off the tee you are straight out of bounds with no chance of getting the ball back.Bit crap for a fader/slicer like myself, as you end up aiming really far left every hole.The exceptions are the par 3 7th and 16th which are cut back holes, but I tend to hit slight draws with my irons.

 

[richart]

Off the tee a fade, but quite a few second shots favour being on the left side of the fairway.

 

[RGDave]

Off the tee a fade, but quite a few second shots favour being on the left side of the fairway.

Sounds frustrating. Maybe that's good design? ... or just annoying.

 

[Lump]

neither really, but OOB is on the right side of 4 holes though.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Most of the trouble is right on the course with the exception of perhaps the 16th with OOB tight right.

 

[snell]

I'd say a controlled fade at our place

Although there are a couple of holes where a draw would help gain an advantage for sure.

 

[Jimbop90]

1st: Hole doglegs to the left, but there's a tree front right of the comp tee's that stops you aiming too far up the right side for a draw to come back to centre.
2nd: Slight dogleg to the left, unfindable all along left side until about 60 yards short of the green. To the right is the 3rd fairway.
3rd: Straight down, but OOB all down left, to the right is the 2nd fairway.
8th: Long and straight down, OOB left and 4th fairway to the right, but a huge tree front right of the comp tee's mean you cannot hit any more than a baby draw to the left side of fairway, aim any further left and you're into the tree, any more draw and you're OOB. Hate that tee shot.

I wouldn't say any of the other holes have massive advantages or disadvantages for fade or draw, usually depends how long you are off the tee.

Also massively surprised that my diagnosed 'problem' tee shots are on the front 9, where I generally play my better golf.
