When I first visited here on my Lifestyle stay I played Cane Garden and went from the white tees and couldn't believe I broke 80 on a course I've never had seen before. Then I realized I'm used to playing courses that are about 6,200 yards from the white tees and I had just played 5,632 yard course. You have to play the blue tees here to equal that. My neighborhood group play the blue tees but when we go off campus we play the white tees.

Since you're fairly new, I didn't know if your handicap was based on where you used to live or have you played about 20 rounds here, then you would be up to date. That's why I bring this up, it's going to make about a few shots difference if you're in that situation.

In the new area here's a link to Belle Glade scorecard PDF file. I just played there on Calusa to Tequesta and the blue tees are just 6,058 yards, the white tees 5,497. I think this course is a little shorter than others because they had to design around a lot of marsh land.

Cane Garden Jacaranda to Allamanda blue tees 6,226 and white tees 5,632. This is more like the rest of TV courses.
