Scoring opportunities are found by playing conservatively on the longer par 4s and being aggressive on the shorter holes.

Wentworth Valley rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take one extra club for uphill approaches to ensure you reach the putting surface. Pay close attention to the grain and slope of the greens, as they can be faster than they appear.
