Enhanced Content

Moderate

The 10th hole at Cypress Point Club offers a deceptively strategic par 5 that demands precision over power. This 480-yard test features a straight layout that might appear straightforward, but the absence of significant hazards places premium emphasis on positioning and course management. The relatively short length for a par 5 creates an intriguing risk-reward scenario, as longer hitters may attempt to reach the small green in two shots, while others will focus on setting up an ideal approach angle. The compact green complex requires pinpoint accuracy on the final shot, making club selection and distance control crucial. What makes this hole memorable is how it rewards thoughtful strategy over aggressive play, embodying Cypress Point's reputation for demanding cerebral golf in one of the world's most stunning settings.
