The County Union re-assessed Parklands Golf course last week for the first time for a number of years. The assessment looks at the difficulty of the course relative to par, so for instance the par for our course from the yellow tees is 71 but the SSS is only 68 and the re-assessment made no change. However from the white tees the SSS has increased from 69 to 70. This reflects the increased difficulty of playing the course from the white tees with smaller greens, narrower fairways and lots of tree growth, not to mention the strategically placed bunkers on the 2nd and the 7th. Lets see how it affects the CSS calculation over the coming months.
