How to score better at Wynyard Golf Club

Success depends on positioning off the tee to navigate the well-placed fairway bunkers and water hazards. Approaches must be targeted toward the correct tiers of the large greens to avoid difficult long-range putts across complex slopes. 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.
