Par 3 • 164 Yards • Farmington, Connecticut

Enhanced Content

Challenging

The second hole at Westwoods Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 3 that demands precision over power. At 164 yards, this hole may appear simple on the scorecard, but the small green complex creates a premium on accuracy that separates confident ball-strikers from those who struggle with distance control.

With no significant hazards guarding the putting surface, golfers might assume this Westwoods Golf Club hole 2 offers a respite, yet the compact target requires a committed tee shot with the right club selection. The straight layout eliminates any guesswork about direction, placing the entire focus on executing a pure strike that finds the heart of the green. Miss the putting surface, and recovery becomes the challenge, as short-game skills around the small green determine whether par remains achievable or bogey becomes the likely outcome.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Club selection is critical on this 164-yard par 3 - take one extra club to ensure you clear the bunkers positioned at 144.1 yards and reach the putting surface with confidence.

approach

Aim for the center of the generous 4,163 square foot green rather than attacking pins - the large putting surface gives you room for error and eliminates short-sided trouble.

hazard warning

Avoid the layup mentality - with no fairway at 200 or 250 yards, this hole demands a committed tee shot that carries all the way to the green.

green

The nearly square green dimensions (27 yards by 29 yards) mean distance control is just as important as direction - focus on landing softly in the middle third.
