Hole 10 at Lake Valley Golf Club

Par 4 • 401 Yards • Longmont, Colorado

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The tenth hole at Lake Valley Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 401 yards, this straight-away challenge features a generous fairway that invites confident tee shots, but the real test lies in the approach to a small, demanding green complex. With minimal hazards to navigate, golfers can focus on course management and execution rather than avoiding trouble. The compact putting surface requires accurate iron play, as missing the target leaves challenging up-and-down opportunities. This mid-round hole serves as an excellent scoring opportunity for players who can dial in their approach shots, making it a pivotal moment where smart strategy and solid fundamentals separate good rounds from great ones at this respected Longmont layout.

hazard warning

Beware of the greenside bunker positioned at 402 yards - just 1 yard past the hole length of 401 yards - which guards the front approach to this par 4.

approach

green

Target the center of this small 3,726 square foot green rather than attacking pins, as the compact target leaves little margin for error on approach shots.
