This hole can be tricky in terms of club selection due to its length and slight dogleg left shape. Depending on your skill level and typical driving distance, you may want to consider using either a driver or fairway wood off the tee for maximum distance while still keeping it in play on this long hole. If you are not comfortable hitting a driver off this tee box then use your 7 iron as it should get you close enough to have an approach shot into the green without too much trouble. In windy conditions take extra care when playing this hole since there may be some additional challenges in managing ball flight direction towards this slightly curved fairway layout. During summer months temperatures tend to be higher than other times of year so make sure your clubs are adjusted accordingly if needed for increased distances due to temperature changes during those periods.
