How to score better at Dunwood Manor Golf Club

The primary objective is finding the correct side of the fairway to handle the natural slopes and doglegs. Players should prioritise accuracy over distance, as many approaches require a specific angle to access tucked pin positions on multi-tiered greens. 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.
