How to score better at Wearside Golf Club
Success depends on managing the undulating terrain and varied lies created by the elevation shifts. Players should focus on finding the correct level on the greens and playing for the fat of the fairway on the steeper holes. 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.
