What makes Old Landing tricky

Scorecards are typically made or broken on the par 5s, where reaching in two is possible but risky depending on the breeze. Conservative play on the longer par 3s can preserve a round, as pars are valuable scores when the wind picks up. Focus on hitting greens in regulation rather than pins positioned near the edges.

Who will enjoy Old Landing

Where most golfers lose shots at Old Landing

The most common error is underestimating the effect of the wind on high-lofted shots. Many players also struggle by over-swinging on the longer par 4s, leading to inaccurate drives that find the heavy coastal vegetation. Misreading the subtle breaks on the relatively flat greens can also result in unnecessary three-putts.

Scoring Zone strategy for Old Landing

On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Old Landing, 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.

Old Landing rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Always check the direction of the wind before selecting a club, as it often shifts throughout the day. Keep the ball low when playing into the wind to maintain control and minimize lateral drift. Practice your short game on firm turf, as the coastal soil conditions can lead to tight lies around the greens.
