Three honest reads, computed from this course's tee data — the same math the quiz uses. Fame is not fit.

The new golfer

still learning · ~190 off the tee

Play the Greens — 5,098 yds (65.6/116)
Expect 98–104

This one is a grind for your game — triple-digit territory.

The weekend mid

mid-80s to 90s · ~245 off the tee

Play the Blues — 6,334 yds (71.3/134)
Expect 88–94

You can break 100 here. Pick the right tees and stay patient.

The stick

single digits · ~280 off the tee

Play the Golds — 6,722 yds (73.3/137)
Expect 82–88

You can break 90 here on a decent day.

Sixty seconds. No account. Your own answer — which tees, what you'll shoot, whether this course wants you — not the average golfer's.
