How to score better at Styal Golf Club
Prioritise position over power off the tee to navigate the tree-lined corridors and avoid strategically placed bunkers. Approach play requires careful club selection as several greens are well-protected by lateral hazards and undulating surrounds. 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.
