Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
Off the Pro tee, this 142-yard par-3 presents a great opportunity for low handicappers to make an eagle. With a long drive of over 280 yards, you can easily clear the six bunkers and avoid any water hazards on this hole. However, be aware of potential weather conditions as they could affect your ball flight and accuracy. Keep in mind that the green is relatively small with only 5527 square feet, so aim for precision rather than distance off the tee.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
For mid handicappers playing from the Men's tee at 135 yards, it is important to focus on accuracy rather than distance on this hole. The six bunkers and water hazards can be challenging obstacles if not approached carefully. Take into account any weather conditions that may impact your shot and aim for a safe landing on the green.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
As a high handicapper playing from the Women's tee at 128 yards, avoiding mistakes should be your top priority on this hole. With six bunkers and water hazards present, it is crucial to have an accurate tee shot to stay out of trouble. Be aware of how weather conditions may affect your ball flight and adjust accordingly when teeing off.
Weather Impact:
Los Angeles has mild weather year-round with average temperatures ranging from 50°F in winter to 75°F in summer. However, wind speeds can vary greatly throughout each season which could impact ball flight significantly on this open course layout.
Incorporating local knowledge or consulting with a caddy will help determine whether adjustments need to be made based on altitude or temperature changes during play.
Percent of Bunker On Green:
With only about 16% bunker coverage around the green area, players should feel confident aiming for precision shots onto the green without worrying too much about getting caught up in fairway bunkers. However, green side bunkers should still be avoided as they could result in a difficult recovery shot and potentially add strokes to your score. Keep an eye out for any potential hazards on the course and strategize accordingly to avoid them.
