How to score better at Prenton Golf Club

Success at Prenton requires prioritising position over raw power off the tee. Many fairways reward a shaped shot to navigate natural doglegs and avoid encroaching treelines. Approaching the greens requires careful club selection to account for elevation changes and ensuring the ball stays below the hole on sloping surfaces. 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.
