Myself and DBT had lessons from the pro at Skidby Lakes. The pro actually said to me ‘of course you’ll never hit the ball as far as DBT (probably based on his size)’. Him saying that made it into a bit of a friendly personal challenge.
Recently playing the dog leg 14th at Skidby, we both hit good drives about 230 yards just to the left of perfect position.

Played it last Sept off whites 185 yds to clear the heather on the first, windy day made it with about 2 yds to spare - v expensive not really worth it IMO , some bunkers are 10’ deep - not kidding !!

playing one of those arnold palmer courses at the seaside (9 holes with obstacles, including moving windmill sails, everything red and green) got round in 17 and rung the bell for a free round at the end.

Me and Askew played Wychwood Park near Crewe last weekend.
Off the 138 slope rated tees (they've started doing that instead of colours) which are effectively yellows, whites are 148.
200 yard carry to get to the fairway on a couple of them. Not a chance of finding it if you fell short
Made it but very challenging.
Really nice course though for a 2 day deal
