Where most golfers lose shots at Metchosin

Players often find trouble by attempting to overpower the course instead of respecting the natural hazards and dense foliage. Missing the green on the high side often results in a difficult recovery shot.
Scoring Zone strategy for Metchosin
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Metchosin, 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.
Metchosin rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the daily pin sheet, as green depth is limited and hitting the correct tier is crucial for a flat putt. Walk the course if fit, but be prepared for a physical workout due to the frequent climbs and descents. Keep the ball below the hole whenever possible to maintain control over downhill putts.
