6715 to 6393.
Biggest real difference now on a couple of the par 3s.
Can easily be 2-3 clubs more.
Don't think any of the 4s or 5s would make you change your tee shot, you'll just be playing your 2nd from 15-20 yards back.

The score card says there's only a 400 yards difference between white SS 71 and yellow tees SS 69, but its not spread evenly across 18 holes.
Some holes are the same, some only a few yards difference.
A couple of par 4s can have a difference of 60/70 yards, our 5th par 3 can be 40 yards.
Holes 1 and 9 are par 4s from the yellows but par 5s from the whites.

Only 458 yards and mostly on the par 3's which can go from 229 off the whites to a far less intimidating 163 yard. One par 4 becomes 30 yards shorter but gives a far better line off the tee
Whites 6294
Yellow 5836

Yellow 6126.
White 6597
Par 72
Red 5833 but a par 73

Biggest difference is our par 4 2nd (Si 2)you’re now coming out of a shoot with a train track OOB left and clif OOB off the right. Off the yellow you tee off from the front of the shoot so it’s fine. This hole has ruined many rounds before they’ve even got going.
5th par 3 adds about 60yards to it so instead of a wedge depending on wind the you can be hitting anything from a 7i - 3hy. Rest of the 3s are only a club or 2 different. And 15th (si1) par 5 about an extra 100yards and the initial drive is a lot more on placement as you risk being blocked out by trees for next shot unless your a big 280+ straight bomber from the tee (which I’m not 😂)

So only 372 yds but on holes 4, 5, 7, 12 & 13 it completely changes the way the hole plays. It makes 4 a little easier as you get a better target from an elevated tee. 5 is further back and makes the shot to carry fairway bunker something you have to consider, play short you won't get on in 2 take on the carry and get it wrong and your in it meaning even in in 3 could be a no go or a bounce off to the right you could skirt the water. The 7 plays a much harder dog leg right and makes you skirt the OOB. Similar in 12th it hugely narrows the tee shot & landing area plus brings OOB into play even more and gives you no safe side to miss. Then 13th is index 1 anyway but the whites can add up 40 yards but you play through a narrower shoot from the tee, it makes you play away from trouble on the left side but that in turn makes you bring OOB on the right hugely into play.

So in our case not a big yardage difference but it brings elements in that can completely change the way you play and score.

Can’t really contribute as the men really only have one set of tees. Every course has 4 or 5 sets of adult tees but regardless of social/comp we tend to be off the same tee for any game all year. A descriptive range of tee names might be: Pro - Low AM - Men - Seniors - Ladies

I'd say its about 4-500yrd per tee but doesn’t really mean much. Tashy you know Anahita, 7,467 from the tips versus 6,677 off the mens so 790yrd diff but it’s not like anyone’s playing pro tees one game and mens the next

6099 Yellow, 6381 white = 282 yard difference. Par 3's arent much different, neither are our par 5's but some of the par 4's have a big difference. close to 50 yards on a few I believe.

Yellow - 6012 v's White - 6313 par 71. Only 300 yard difference, A couple of par 4's are 50 odd yards back with an elevated tee position, generally an extra club for your approach to most holes.

6519 to 6192, 327yd difference. 10-20yds on most holes doesn't make too much difference (a club or two at most depending upon the wind direction) - 50yd and 61yd on two others - and these two yardage differences make a big difference to the difficulty of the holes because of what is brought into play by a wayward shot.
