Club Recommendations

Low Handicapper:

As a low handicapper, you have the advantage of being able to hit longer drives and approach shots with more precision. With this in mind, your strategy for this hole should be focused on taking advantage of your distance off the tee while also avoiding any potential hazards.

During warmer months when temperatures are higher and there is less wind, you can expect the ball to fly further than usual. This means that you may want to consider using a slightly shorter club off the tee to ensure accuracy over distance. However, during colder months or when facing strong winds, take advantage of your power off the tee by using a driver or fairway wood to set yourself up for a short iron approach shot.

When approaching this green, keep in mind that there is only one bunker to avoid but it does come into play if you miss your approach shot long or left. Aim for the center of the green and use enough club to carry any potential bunkers near the front edge. Overall, focus on making birdie rather than trying too hard for an eagle opportunity.

Mid Handicapper:

For mid handicappers, consistency is key on this hole. With distances ranging from 353 yards from the Men's tees down to 310 yards from Women's tees, it's important to choose appropriate clubs based on individual skill level and weather conditions throughout each season.

In general, aim for accuracy over distance off the tee by hitting hybrid clubs or long irons instead of drivers or fairway woods. This will give you better control over where your ball ends up in relation to potential hazards such as water or bunkers.

On approach shots towards this small green surrounded by rough terrain and one bunker guarding its front left side, remember that hitting towards center target areas will help mitigate risk while still giving yourself opportunities at birdies throughout each round.

High Handicapper:

As a high handicapper playing against others who typically score better than you, your main focus on this hole should be avoiding mistakes and minimizing risk. With distances ranging from 331 yards for Seniors' tees down to 310 yards for Women's tees, it's important to choose clubs that give you the best chance at hitting fairways and greens.

Incorporate shorter clubs off the tee such as a long iron or hybrid in order to keep your ball in play and avoid any potential hazards. When approaching this green, aim for the center of the putting surface rather than trying to hit towards any specific pin location. This will help mitigate risk while still giving yourself opportunities at par or better.

Overall, remember that every shot counts and playing smart golf is more important than taking unnecessary risks on this short but challenging par 4 hole at Indian Creek Golf Course (Gray Hawk) in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
