If your handicap is a 16 no course here will bring you to you knees. The two courses I would play if I could only play two would be Palmer and Glen View (luckily I get to play them all). Nice facilities with driving ranges....

As far as tees, I have played alot of golf with lots of folks and seldom does the tee have anything to do with handicap. I play with lots of folks that can still hit a ball 240+ yards, but take 4 to get into the hole from 75 yards. Playing more forward tees will probaly not lower their handicap.

IMO, tee selection is more about length of the shot into the green to make the game as enjoyable as it can be. If you hit a solid driver and 5 wood and still have a 30 yard shot into every par 4 it is probably time to move up.

You folks will be fine anywhere here.....

IMO the toughest course in TV is Tierra Del Sol from the tips.... that could bring many to their knees....
