Club Recommendations

Low Handicapper (280+ yards):

As a low handicapper, your goal on this hole is to set yourself up for an eagle opportunity. With your long drive, you have the advantage of being able to clear the dogleg and reach the center of the fairway. From there, you can strategically approach the green without worrying about any bunkers. The 2% bunker coverage on the green means that even if you miss your approach shot slightly, you still have a good chance at making a birdie or par.

Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):

For mid handicappers, it's important to focus on accuracy over distance on this hole. Aiming for the center of the fairway will give you a good angle for your second shot towards the green. Be mindful of avoiding those three bunkers as they could easily ruin your score. With only 2% bunker coverage on the green, take advantage of that and aim for it with confidence.

High Handicapper (~200+ yards):

As a high handicapper, it's important to play smart and avoid mistakes on this hole. Your shorter drive may not allow you to clear the dogleg but aiming towards its left side can still give you a decent position in the fairway. From there, focus on hitting a solid approach shot onto an open green with minimal bunkering (only 2%). Avoiding those three bunkers off the tee is crucial for setting yourself up for success.
