How to pick a category
If it is your first ever round, start with 9-hole and beginner. A short, forgiving layout finished in under an hour is the experience most likely to make you want a second round.
If you are working on accuracy, wooded courses force the issue: the line is a gap, not a fairway. If you are working on distance and wind, open courses are where that gets tested. Our course types guide explains how each plays and what to bag for it.
