How to score better at Seahouses Golf Club

Success requires keeping the ball low to minimise the impact of coastal gusts. Players should aim for the 'fat' part of the greens rather than attacking tucked pins, as firm surfaces often lead to significant run-off into natural hollows. Use the ground game where possible, opting for bump-and-run shots instead of high-trajectory wedges. Wind and ground conditions play a major role here. Controlling ball flight and using the ground effectively is key to scoring well. This is not a course where distance gives you an advantage. Most golfers would score better by focusing on control and positioning.
