When considering club selection for your tee shot and approach shots throughout all four seasons here at Westwoods Golf Club in Farmington, Connecticut (zip code:06032), keep in mind that altitude and weather conditions may impact ball flight distances. On average during peak golf season (summer), temperatures range from mid-70s to low-80s Fahrenheit with moderate humidity levels. In fall and spring months expect cooler temperatures ranging from high-50s to mid-60s Fahrenheit with some wind gusts possible as well as higher humidity levels due to seasonal rainfalls increasing moisture content within air masses surrounding our course location which could affect overall ball flight conditions by reducing carry distances especially when paired with colder temperature ranges or stronger winds also affecting trajectory angles; however these factors should have less influence than those experienced during winter months where harsher cold fronts are more likely accompanied by strong winds potentially creating icy surfaces across ponds or streams running through certain holes adding further difficulty depending upon how players choose their shots. With that being said, from the championship tees, a driver should carry approximately 217 yards while a 7 iron can reach around 140 yards and pitching wedge can travel up to 120 yards.

As you approach this hole, keep in mind the water hazard on the left side of the fairway as well as any potential trouble areas surrounding it. A well-placed tee shot may allow for an opportunity to go for this green in two shots, but be sure to take into account your own personal strengths and abilities when making such strategic decisions.

Overall, Hole 1 at Westwoods Golf Club is a challenging yet rewarding start to your round. Good luck!
