Hole 7 at Balboa Park Municipal Golf Club is a 218-yard par 4 with slight dogleg to the right. The fairway width is approximately 22 yards wide, and there are two bunkers protecting the green, which makes up 2% of the total hazard area. This hole can be quite challenging in windy conditions due to its altitude of 645 feet above sea level. In spring and summer months, temperatures tend to be mild but breezy, making it important for players to factor in wind speed when selecting their club off the tee box. A driver will give you good distance here if hit straight down the middle; however a hybrid or 3 wood may be more suitable for those who struggle with accuracy off the tee. The green has an average size of 3470 square feet so even if you find yourself slightly offline from your approach shot, there should still be plenty of room on this large putting surface for a chance at birdie or par depending on your skill level.
