Players will encounter a mix of strategic doglegs and undulating greens that reflect the natural topography of the Fraser Valley.

How to score better at Redwoods

Aggressive play with the driver is often penalized by the tight treelines, making accuracy more valuable than raw distance. Focus on hitting the correct side of the fairway to create better angles into the greens, which are often protected by bunkers or steep fall-offs. Club selection should account for several uphill and downhill approach shots that can vary by more than one club length.

How Redwoods should actually be played

Aggressive play with the driver is often penalized by the tight treelines, making accuracy more valuable than raw distance. Focus on hitting the correct side of the fairway to create better angles into the greens, which are often protected by bunkers or steep fall-offs. Club selection should account for several uphill and downhill approach shots that can vary by more than one club length. This is the defining strategy for Redwoods. Golfers who commit to this approach consistently score better here.

What makes Redwoods tricky

Scorecard success depends on navigating the par fives effectively and minimizing damage on the tighter par fours. The greens tend to be receptive, allowing for aggressive approach shots if you are playing from the fairway. Saving par from the greenside rough is challenging, so hitting greens in regulation is the primary metric for a good round.

Who will enjoy Redwoods

Redwoods suits golfers who want to improve their scoring through better decision-making. Mid handicap players benefit most from playing conservatively, while lower handicap golfers can take advantage of scoring opportunities when they are clearly available.

Where most golfers lose shots at Redwoods

The most common error is attempting to overpower the course and losing balls in the thick forest flanking most fairways. Golfers often fail to account for the impact of elevation on yardage, leading to shots that fall short on uphill approaches. Over-reading the break on these greens is also common, as subtle slopes often pull toward the lower valley areas.

Scoring Zone strategy for Redwoods

On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Redwoods, 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.

Redwoods rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the wind direction above the treeline, as the dense forest can mask the actual breeze felt at ground level. Keep the ball below the hole whenever possible to avoid difficult downhill putts on the sloping surfaces. Use a GPS or yardage book to confirm distances to hazards that may be hidden by the undulating terrain.
