The plan for No. 7
This deceptively simple par 3 demands precision and smart club selection, as the small green leaves little margin for error. At 215 yards, it's a true test of your iron play where course management trumps aggressive play.
Off the tee
From the tee, your primary focus should be selecting the right club and committing fully to your swing. At 215 yards, most golfers will need anywhere from a 5-iron to a hybrid depending on conditions and elevation changes. The key is choosing a club you can swing confidently - it's better to be slightly long with good tempo than short with an aggressive swing. Aim for the center of the green regardless of pin position, as the small target demands conservative targeting. Take note of wind conditions, as they can significantly impact club selection on a hole of this length.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing that prioritizes accuracy over distance. The small green means you need to land the ball softly, so ensure you're taking enough club to swing within yourself. If the pin is tucked in a corner, resist the temptation to fire directly at it - the center of the green is always your friend on holes with small targets. Pay attention to your ball flight and landing angle, as a steep descent will help the ball stick on what's likely a firm desert green.
On the green
With a small green, you won't face extremely long putts if you hit your target. However, desert greens can be tricky to read, often featuring subtle breaks that aren't immediately apparent. Take time to study the general slope and grain of the grass. Focus on speed control above all else - a putt that dies at the hole has a better chance than one that races past on a small surface. If you do miss the green, prioritize getting your chip or pitch shot close rather than trying to hole it.
