Club Recommendations

For the low handicapper, a drive of 280+ yards on this Par 3 hole may seem like an easy birdie opportunity. However, with changing weather conditions in Carbondale, Colorado and no bunkers on the green to protect against errant shots, it is important to focus on accuracy rather than distance. Aiming for the center of the green will provide a safe landing area regardless of pin placement and give a high chance for par or better. Adjusting club selection based on altitude and wind can also help ensure a successful shot.

The medium handicap player should also aim for the center of the green as their tee shot may only reach around 230+ yards. With no bunkers to worry about and varying weather conditions throughout the year in Carbondale, Colorado, focusing on accuracy over distance is key. Choosing an appropriate club based on altitude and wind can help set up a good approach shot to potentially make par or even birdie.

As for our high handicap golfer, reaching this Par 3 hole from their tee box at approximately 200+ yards may be challenging. In order to avoid mistakes and score well, aiming for the center of the green is still recommended strategy. With no bunkers guarding against wayward shots onto this large green area measuring at 5803 sq ft., focusing on accuracy over power will lead to more consistent scores throughout different weather conditions in Carbondale, Colorado.
