Prioritise finding the correct side of the fairway to secure optimal angles into the greens. Many holes feature narrow landing zones where a long iron or wood is often a safer choice than a driver. Staying below the hole is essential on several of the more tiered putting surfaces. Course management and positioning are key factors in scoring well here. This is not a course where distance gives you an advantage. Most golfers would score better by focusing on control and positioning.

The back nine offers several opportunities to recover shots if players remain disciplined off the tee. Scoring well depends on capitalising on the shorter par 4s while maintaining par on the more demanding long intervals. Focus on high greens-in-regulation statistics rather than aggressive birdie hunting. The layout rewards players who understand where to position the ball rather than simply hitting it as far as possible.
Billericay Golf Club suits golfers who want to improve their scoring through better decision-making. Mid handicap players benefit most from playing conservatively, while lower handicap golfers can take advantage of scoring opportunities when they are clearly available.
Over-attacking tight pin positions often leads to difficult up-and-down attempts from thick greenside rough. Errant shots that miss the fairway frequently result in blocked lines of sight due to the established trees. Golfers often underestimate the subtle breaks on the greens, leading to unnecessary three-putts. This is where most golfers lose shots at Billericay Golf Club.
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Billericay Golf Club, the goal should be simple: two controlled shots. You don’t need a perfect drive — you need a repeatable position that allows you to play your next shot with confidence.
Billericay Golf Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Utilise a yardage book to identify hidden hazards and run-out distances on doglegs. Practice lag putting before the round, as the pace of the greens can vary depending on the undulations. Always check the wind direction above the treeline, as it can be deceptive at ground level.
