Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Aim to hit your tee shot just beyond the bunkers in order to have a chance at reaching the green in two shots.
2. Take into account local weather conditions when selecting clubs; higher temperatures will affect ball flight while cooler temperatures and windy days may require more club selection.
3. Use an average driver distance of 217 yards and 7 iron going 140 yards as a guide for choosing which clubs to use on this hole, but adjust based on personal driving distances and accuracy with irons.
4. Be sure to take enough club when approaching the green in order to avoid the five bunkers, two of which are greenside.
5. Consider playing conservatively if you don’t think you can make it onto or close enough to the green in two shots - lay up short of any hazards instead of risking an errant shot that could cost you strokes over par (in this case bogey).
