Club Recommendations
Low Handicapper (280+ yards):
Off the tee, a low handicapper should aim for the center of the fairway to set up an ideal approach shot. With a long drive of 280+ yards, they have a good chance of reaching this challenging par 4 in two shots. However, be mindful of potential weather impacts due to altitude and wind, as they can affect ball flight and potentially make it more difficult to control distance.
Mid Handicapper (~230+ yards):
For a mid handicapper, accuracy off the tee is key on this hole. With varying distances from each teebox type and only one bunker to avoid, aiming for the center of the fairway will give them the best chance at setting up a manageable approach shot. Keep an eye out for any changes in weather conditions that may impact ball flight.
High Handicapper (~200+ yards):
The main goal for a high handicapper on this hole should be avoiding mistakes and playing smart golf. With limited distance off the tee compared to their lower handicap counterparts, aiming for accuracy over distance will be crucial. Avoiding hazards such as bunkers and staying in play will help mitigate risk and improve chances at scoring well on this challenging par 4.
Percent Bunker On Green:
With only one bunker on this hole located near the green's edge, there is minimal risk involved when approaching from afar or hitting short into greenside bunkers. However, keep in mind that even though there is only one bunker present, its location could still cause trouble if not avoided properly.
Weather Considerations:
Aspen Glen Club sits at an elevation of approximately 6,500 feet above sea level which can significantly impact ball flight distances due to thinner air density. Additionally,the course's location near mountains means that wind conditions can vary greatly depending on local weather patterns throughout all four seasons. Be sure to take these factors into account when making club selections and planning shots on this hole.
