Pinnacle Country Club hole 2 unfolds as a strategic par 5 that rewards patience over power. Stretching 578 yards with a decisive dogleg right, this hole demands golfers shape their tee shot to follow the fairway's natural bend, setting up the ideal angle for the second shot. Twin greenside bunkers guard the putting surface, punishing approach shots that drift off-line and forcing players to commit fully to their club selection.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway remains fairly consistent in width off the tee, measuring 38 yards at 200y and 37 yards at 250y, giving players a generous landing area for drives. Favor the widest part of the fairway to set up your layup on this 578-yard par 5.

hazard warning

A fairway bunker sits at 289.5 yards, right in range for longer hitters' drives. Players with big distance off the tee should club down or aim away from this line to avoid the sand.

approach

Two bunkers guard the approach zone at 520.5y and 546.9y, creating a gauntlet before the green on this 578-yard par 5. Plan your layup distance carefully to leave a clean angle into the green rather than a shot threading between these hazards.

green

This green is classified as small at just 4,992 sq ft (29y x 33y), so precision on the approach is critical. Take an extra club if you're between distances to ensure you don't come up short and catch the bunker complex at 546.9y.

tee shot

With 578 yards to navigate and a small target green (29y x 33y) awaiting your third shot, prioritize accuracy over max distance off the tee—positioning in the 37-38 yard wide fairway zones will pay off more than length alone.
