Ranch golf courses are bigger and wider than the average golf course. In many ways, they are better for high-handicap players because they are more spread out and wide open and don't require many of the fine and accurate shots that can be found on traditional courses. However, they also tend to be a bit longer, so being able to hit for distance off the tee and from the fairway will help a golfer tremendously.
