Enhanced Content

Easy

Wilshire Country Club's 7th hole presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that demands precision over power. At 142 yards, this short iron test features a small, elevated green that rewards accurate tee shots while punishing wayward approaches. The hole's straightforward layout might seem benign, but the compact target requires golfers to commit fully to their club selection and swing. With minimal hazards to distract, the mental challenge becomes paramount—there's nowhere to hide a poorly struck shot. The green's intimate size means even slight misses can leave difficult recovery shots, making this the type of hole where par feels like a victory and birdie opportunities must be seized decisively.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this short par 3 - at only 142 yards, focus on accuracy over distance. A smooth swing with a wedge or 9-iron will serve you better than forcing a gap wedge.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 158.8 yards create a significant threat beyond the pin. Since the hole plays 142 yards, taking one less club and playing short of the flag is often the safer play.

green

The compact 2,870 square foot green (30x23 yards) demands precision. With limited green real estate, focus on hitting the center of the green rather than attacking pin positions.

approach

With no fairway available (0 yards at both 200y and 250y), this is a direct tee-to-green shot. Commit fully to your club selection and trust your distance control.

green

The green's 30-yard width provides a reasonable target, but the 23-yard depth means front-to-back distance control is crucial. Err on the side of being pin-high rather than short or long.
