The altitude here can affect ball flight, especially during summer months when temperatures are high. During springtime, warm days usually give way to cool nights which can also affect ball flight conditions. In winter months windy conditions may prevail due to cold air masses coming off nearby mountains adding an extra challenge for golfers playing this hole.

For players hitting driver ~217 yards, 7 iron ~140 yards and pitching wedge ~120 yards; it would be advisable to take out the driver or 3 wood depending on how far you want your approach shot into this green with sand traps guarding both sides of the fairway just short of the green. A well placed shot should leave you with a short pitch onto this large two tiered putting surface so aim your tee shots carefully!
