Great problem to have. As you play around the country, I find tee standards do vary. I try to pick a slope rating that I am comfortable with playing and use those tees instead of the yardage. I like to play a slope of around 133 to 138 so I will select the yardage that matches that as close as possible and select those tees. And some courses have a couple tees in that range, so if it's the first time there, I will pick the shorter of the two until I know the layout a little better. Sometimes that's the blue, sometimes the white or some other color depending on the course. If you select yardage, what do you do when playing Pelican Hills vs Edgewater at Lake Tahoe? 6000 yards is totally different at those different elevations. I find using the slope ratings the best way to play a somewhat consistent level of difficulty. May want to consider that as an option.
