Club Recommendations

For the low handicapper, this hole is all about strategy and precision. With a strong drive of 280+ yards, they can easily clear the water and set themselves up for a shorter approach shot. However, with eight bunkers strategically placed along the fairway and green, accuracy off the tee is crucial to avoid trouble. The slight dogleg right also adds an extra challenge in terms of club selection and ball placement.

In terms of weather conditions, Los Angeles has mild temperatures year-round but wind can be a factor at times. During the summer months, when temperatures are higher and winds may pick up in the afternoons, it's important for players to adjust their shots accordingly to prevent any potential mishaps.

For medium handicappers who hit around 230+ yards off the tee, this hole still presents some challenges but there are ways to mitigate risk. A well-placed drive down the middle will leave them with a manageable approach shot into a relatively large green area measuring 5527 sq ft. However, being aware of changes in altitude or temperature that may affect ball flight will help ensure more accurate shots.

High handicappers hitting around 200+ yards off the tee should focus on avoiding mistakes rather than trying to make birdies or eagles on this difficult par 4. Playing conservatively by laying up short of hazards such as water or bunkers can help minimize risk and keep scores from ballooning too high.

Overall, regardless of handicap level or tee box used (Pro - Par: 4; Distance: 405 yards; Handicap: 2 / Men's - Par: 4; Distance:393 yards; Handicap:2 / Women's - Par:4 ;Distance :377yards ;Handicap :6), precision off the tee and course management are key factors for success on this challenging hole at Wilshire Country Club.
