How to score better at Queens Park Golf Club

Success depends on managing the hilly terrain and ensuring you find the correct side of the fairway for the best angle into the greens. Because many approach shots are played to elevated or sunken surfaces, club selection must be adjusted for vertical gain and loss. Keeping the ball below the hole is vital on sloping 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.
