Club Recommendations
Hole 6 at Aspen Glen Club, The is a challenging par 5 that requires strategic thinking and precision to score well. With varying teebox distances and potential water hazards, it's important to consider weather conditions such as altitude and wind in order to optimize ball flight for better scoring potential.
Teeing off from the Championship tees, this hole measures a lengthy 560 yards. Low handicappers should aim for a slight dogleg left off the tee in order to set themselves up for an approach shot towards the green. With their long driving distance of over 280 yards, they have the opportunity to reach this green in two shots and potentially make an eagle.
Mid handicappers playing from the Pro or Men's tees will face similar challenges on this hole. Their drives of around 230+ yards may not be enough to reach the green in two shots but positioning themselves on the fairway is crucial. Avoiding any of the three bunkers strategically placed along the fairway will give them a clear shot towards the green.
High handicappers playing from either Women's or Men's tees with shorter distances should focus on avoiding mistakes rather than trying to make eagles. Playing safe by aiming towards more open areas on this slightly curved hole can help mitigate risk while still keeping them in play.
The percent of bunker coverage on this green is low at only 3%, but these are no ordinary bunkers - they are greenside bunkers that can cause trouble if approached too closely. It would be wise for all players regardless of handicap level to avoid these traps when approaching their approach shots into this large green measuring at approximately 7,032 square feet.
In conclusion, Hole #6 at Aspen Glen Club presents unique challenges based on varying teebox distances and weather conditions such as altitude and wind direction. Low handicappers should take advantage of their long driving distance while mid-to-high handicappers must carefully navigate their way towards the green to avoid mistakes. With a strategic approach, this hole can be conquered by all skill levels.
