How to score better at Lichfield Golf and Country Club

Prioritise finding the centre of the fairway as the primary defence is the strategic placement of mature trees. Many greens are guarded by bunkers, meaning players should aim for the fat of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions. 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.
