Technology meets the fairway: A new era begins with Teknobu and GBT.

A Bold New Initiative Introduced by Teknobu Tiger for the GBT Tour

Welcome to Blackburn Golf Club, a classic 18-hole parkland course measuring 6,144 yards from the white tees with a par of 71. Established in 1894, this James Braid-designed layout offers a fair yet strategic test, featuring tree-lined fairways, elevation changes, and well-protected greens. With outstanding views of the Pennine Hills and Lancashire coast, it’s as scenic as it is challenging. 

Course Strategy Overview From Teknobu Tiger

• Opening Holes (1–3): The round begins with a short par 4 that’s reachable for long hitters but beware of out-of-bounds along the right side and behind the green. The early holes offer scoring opportunities but require precision off the tee.

• Mid-Round Challenge (4–9): This stretch includes a mix of par 4s and a par 5, demanding accurate drives and thoughtful approach shots. The fairways are lined with mature trees, and the greens are well-bunkered, emphasizing the importance of course management.

• Back Nine Highlights (10–13): The 10th and 13th holes are standout par 5s with elevated tees, offering risk-reward opportunities. Long hitters can capitalize here, but caution is advised as misjudged shots can lead to trouble.

• Closing Stretch (14–18): The final holes, including the tricky par-3 16th, require precise iron play and a steady hand on the greens. The course finishes with a mix of challenging holes that can make or break your scorecard.

Key Holes to Watch

• Hole 1 – Par 4: A short opening hole that’s tempting for aggressive play, but out-of-bounds lurks on the right and behind the green.
• Hole 10 – Par 5: An elevated tee offers a great view and a chance to reach in two for longer hitters. Accuracy is key to avoid the well-placed hazards.
• Hole 13 – Par 5:  Another elevated tee with a generous fairway, but the approach shot requires precision to navigate the bunkers guarding the green.
• Hole 16 – Par 3: A challenging par 3 with a well-protected green, demanding a precise tee shot to avoid the surrounding hazards.

Pro Tips

We

• Club Selection: Given the course’s elevation changes and strategic bunkering, thoughtful club selection is crucial.

• Course Management: Focus on positioning rather than distance. The course rewards strategic play over sheer power.

• Greens: The greens are known for their true roll. Spend time on the practice green to get a feel for the speed and break.

Prepare accordingly, and you’ll be well-equipped to tackle Blackburn Golf Club. Good luck to all GBT Tour competitors!
