How Chequers should actually be played

The primary focus should be on keeping the ball in play off the tee to navigate the narrow corridors. Playing for the centre of the greens is generally the safest option, as miss-hits on either side are often penalised by the surrounding vegetation. This is the defining strategy for Chequers. Golfers who commit to this approach consistently score better here.

What makes Chequers tricky

The par fives provide the most reliable scoring opportunities if you can find the fairway. Maintaining a tidy short game is essential for saving par, as the small putting surfaces are difficult to hit consistently in regulation.

Who will enjoy Chequers

Chequers 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.

Where most golfers lose shots at Chequers

Overly aggressive play with the driver often leads to recovery shots from beneath the trees. Golfers frequently lose strokes by trying to fly the ball all the way to the hole on firm greens, which can result in the ball running through the back.

Scoring Zone strategy for Chequers

On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Chequers, 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.

Chequers rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the wind direction carefully, as the exposed rural terrain can influence ball flight significantly. Use a lower-lofted club for chip shots to keep the ball under the wind and running toward the hole.
