How to score better at Bognor Regis Golf Club

The primary objective is finding the correct side of the fairway to ensure an open line of sight to the greens. Many approaches are guarded by bunkers or slopes, so players should prioritise club selection that avoids short-sided misses. Keeping the ball below the hole on the sloping surfaces is essential. Tree-lined fairways and positioning off the tee are critical. Being slightly out of position quickly turns simple shots into recovery situations. This is not a course where distance gives you an advantage. Most golfers would score better by focusing on control and positioning.
