Patio Preview
Tahoe Mountain Club (Old Greenwood Course)
Par 71, 7,480 yards
One of longest courses relative to par on PGA Tour
Top 65 and ties make cut
Stableford scoring
Alternative golf format that awards points based on a player's score on each hole
Goal is to accumulate the highest point total, not the lowest stroke count
Albatross +8, Eagle +5, Birdie +2, Par 0, Bogey -1, Double or worse -3
Rewards aggressive play (birdies/eagles) while minimizing the penalty for bad holes (bogeys or worse)
Greens: Firm bentgrass/poa annua mix around 5,500 sq ft on average
Run about 11/11.5 on Stimpmeter
Rough: Kentucky bluegrass, around 2.5”
95 bunkers, 6 water hazards
Mountain terrain surrounding course
Played at elevation: ball flies about 10% further than closer to sea level
Emphasis on accuracy due to the distance boost at elevation
4 Par 3s
2 shorter than 200 yards, 2 longer than 220 yards
Get the distance right, avoid bogeys on these holes
11 Par 4s
Ranging from 345-540 yards
4 holes shorter than 400 yards
2 over 500 yards
Avoiding bogeys, specifically on the long Par 4s, will be a key to a place on the front page of the leaderboard
3 Par 5s
551, 578, 631 yards
Stableford scoring + elevation = players go for eagles more aggressively than the average PGA Tour course
