Club Recommendations

High Handicapper:

For high handicappers, the 8th hole at Wilshire Country Club can be a challenging one. With its shorter distance and slight dogleg right, it may seem like an easy par 4. However, players should take caution when attempting to go for the green in one as there is water near the green that could easily catch errant shots. Instead, focus on hitting a straight shot off the tee to avoid the strategically placed bunkers and leave yourself with a manageable approach shot.

Mid Handicapper:

The 8th hole at Wilshire Country Club offers mid handicappers an opportunity to make up some strokes. With its shorter distance of around 230 yards from most tee boxes, this par 4 is definitely reachable in two shots. But beware of potential wind conditions and stay away from the water near the green. Aim for a spot just short of the bunkers on your drive to set up an easier approach shot into this well-protected green.

Low Handicapper:

As always, low handicappers are looking to make eagles on par 5s like this one at Wilshire Country Club. With drives averaging over 280 yards, you have plenty of options off the tee but must be mindful of wind direction and strength as well as avoiding any hazards or bunkers that could ruin your chances at scoring big on this hole. A precise drive down the center will give you an opportunity to attack this small green in regulation and potentially walk away with birdie or even eagle.

Local Weather:

In Los Angeles, temperatures typically range from mild to warm year-round with very little variation between seasons due to its Mediterranean climate. However, players should still pay attention to potential changes in altitude which can affect ball flight distances and adjust accordingly.
