How Wawenock should actually be played

Where most golfers lose shots at Wawenock
Over-swinging on the open fairways often leads to stray shots into the peripheral tall grass. Many golfers also struggle by being too aggressive on downhill putts, which can quickly run off the greens if not respected.
Scoring Zone strategy for Wawenock
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Wawenock, 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.
Wawenock rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the wind direction before every approach shot, as the open landscape offers little protection from coastal gusts. Utilizing a ground-game approach or a 'bump and run' is often more effective than flying the ball all the way to the hole.
