Anabelle Lucas-Villar, 19, said it was “exciting”, especially because she played in competitions in the UK.
“A lot of the courses I play away go up to about 6,200 yards (5,670m). By comparison to here, off the current red tees, it’s quite a difference,” she said.
Royal Jersey’s distance across 18 holes from the red tees is 5,428 yards (4,963m).
“Being able to play off the further back tees here will make a difference because it will make it more realistic to the competitions away,” added Lucas-Villar.
