Enhanced Content

Tough

The second-ranked handicap hole at Westwoods Golf Club, this 420-yard par 4 demands precision from tee to green. With its straight layout offering no reprieve through doglegs, every shot must be calculated and executed flawlessly. The generous fairway provides ample landing area for the tee shot, but the real challenge emerges on the approach to the small, demanding green complex.

Without bunkers or water hazards to distract, golfers must focus entirely on distance control and accuracy. The compact putting surface punishes anything but the most precise approach shots, making club selection critical. This deceptively straightforward hole rewards course management and punishes aggressive play, embodying the strategic design philosophy that makes Westwoods Golf Club a respected Connecticut layout where every stroke matters.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

The fairway dramatically narrows from 24 yards at the 250-yard mark to just 12 yards at 200 yards, making accuracy more critical than distance. Consider laying up with a shorter iron or hybrid to stay in the wider portion of the fairway.

approach

With the green measuring 29 yards wide by 33 yards deep (5401 sq ft), you have a reasonably sized target for your approach shot. From the narrower fairway section at 200 yards, you'll have approximately 220 yards to the green.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned 78.3 yards from the tee create an early hazard that shouldn't affect most tee shots, but be aware of their placement for recovery shots or if you're playing from forward tees.

tee shot

For this 420-yard par 4, the key strategic decision is club selection off the tee. Hitting driver risks finding the narrow 12-yard section at 200 yards, while a controlled 3-wood or long iron to the 200-yard mark leaves a manageable approach.

green

The green's dimensions of 33 yards deep provide good depth for approach shots, allowing for some margin of error in distance control. Target the center of this 5401 sq ft green for the best chance at birdie.
