Palos Verdes Golf Club Hole by Hole - 2nd Hole

Low Handicapper:

For the low handicapper, this hole presents an opportunity for a birdie or even eagle with a well-executed tee shot. With a drive of 280+ yards, they should have no problem reaching the green in regulation. However, players must be careful to avoid the two bunkers that guard either side of the green. Aiming for the center of the green and taking into account any potential wind or altitude adjustments will increase their chances of success on this long par 3.

Mid Handicapper:

The mid handicapper may face some challenges on this hole due to its length and difficulty level. With a drive averaging around 230+ yards, they may struggle to reach the green in one shot. In this case, it is important for them to focus on accuracy rather than distance off the tee. Taking aim at the center of the green and avoiding hazards such as fairway bunkers will set them up for a good approach shot onto this large green.

High Handicapper:

For high handicappers, avoiding mistakes is crucial on this difficult par 3. With an average drive distance of only 200+ yards, reaching this long hole in one shot may not be possible for them. Instead, they should focus on finding a safe landing area off the tee and setting themselves up for an easier approach shot onto the large green. Avoiding fairway bunkers and aiming towards open areas will help mitigate risk and improve their chances of scoring well.

Local Weather Conditions:

Palos Verdes Peninsula has consistent weather conditions throughout all four seasons with mild temperatures ranging from mid-60s to low-80s Fahrenheit year-round. The course's location near sea level also means there is minimal impact from altitude changes on ball flight distances.
