Hole 6 at Wilshire Country Club

Par 4 • 436 Yards • Los Angeles, California

Enhanced Content

Tough

The signature hole at Wilshire Country Club, this demanding par 4 stretches 436 yards and earns its stroke-one handicap rating through sheer length and precision requirements. The straight layout may appear straightforward, but the absence of significant hazards places a premium on accuracy and distance control. From the elevated tee, golfers face a generous fairway that gradually narrows toward the landing area, demanding a well-struck drive to set up a manageable approach. The small, subtly contoured green requires pinpoint iron play, as missing the putting surface leaves challenging up-and-down opportunities. This hole exemplifies Wilshire's championship pedigree, rewarding bold, confident swings while punishing tentative play with its unforgiving length and compact target.

Target the center of the fairway with your tee shot, as the landing area maintains a consistent 24-yard width at both 200 and 250 yards, giving you equal room whether you hit driver or 3-wood.

hazard warning

approach

From 200-250 yards out, you'll face a mid to long iron approach on this 436-yard par 4 - focus on distance control to find the putting surface rather than attacking pins.

green

The generous 5,346 square foot green (27x34 yards) offers plenty of target area - aim for the center of the green and let your putting handle the rest rather than forcing aggressive approaches.
