Re: Playing higher tiers

  Never gotten a clear understanding of this.

  Play against a Tour Legend or higher, and the greens max out at 13. But what else on the course changes? Is the hole larger against a TL, and smaller against a TC? Does a pancake green become more hilly? Doesn't seem like the wind gets stronger. Thanks...

  Only the green speed changes.

  However, a putt has to be hit with less power on a 13 green, meaning the putt will break more, so the green might SEEM “more hilly.”

  The question stands. Green speed peaks at 13. But the courses are equally challenging for all tiers TL and above?

  Once you achieve Legend tier you start playing from the back tees and once you make Tour Legend you start putting on 13 speed greens and that's it...

  Champions and above are just better at or at least more consustent at scoring low in ranked games with those conditions...

  If you play 'alternate shot' or other multiplayer games then the conditions always default to the highest tier player with Tour Masters and below just enjoying play off shorter tee boxes...

  I hope that answers your question...

  Well not actually, As a TC the Champion tourney the green speed is 14 and the single play 9 hole tourney the green speed is 14.5
