Hole 7 at PGA West (TPC Stadium course) is a 346-yard par 4. From the championship tees, this slight dogleg right requires an accurate tee shot down the left side of the fairway for a clear approach to the green. With 3 bunkers in play and 1% greenside bunker coverage, golfers should be mindful of their line off the tee and when choosing clubs for their approach. The 7615 sq ft green offers some room to work with but can be tricky with its sloping terrain and subtle breaks that require careful reading. The weather conditions in La Quinta vary greatly across all four seasons - temperatures may reach as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit during summer months while winter lows can drop into 30s or 40s - so altitude, temperature and wind will all have an effect on ball flight conditions here. A 217-yard drive from the championship tees leaves you about 130 yards out; depending on your skill level, you could opt for anything from a 7 iron to pitching wedge for your approach shot here.
